Girls Can't Swim
an ANNE-SOPHIE BIROT picture
Synopsis
Two teenage girls living in different parts of France have spent summer vacation together on the Brittany coast for years. Confused as to how to react to her father’s sudden accidental death, Lise runs off to join her friend Gwen. The high-strung Gwen seems preoccupied by boys and growing up as fast as she can. Their 15th summer will be one of many contrasts: laughter and tears, life and death.
