Girls Will Be Girls

Model pupil Mira discovers love and her true self, but her mother won’t allow her any freedom. Sensitive, superbly acted coming-of-age drama with a feminist touch.

First love is something at once wonderful and extremely risky. Although we will never feel so intensely again, we will also never be so vulnerable again. It’s something that this sensitive drama shows with impressive authenticity.

16-year-old Mira attends an elite boarding school and is the first girl ever to be elected class president. One of her duties is to point out any breaches of morals and rules to her classmates. One day, a very charming new student joins the school and Mira soon grows close to him. It is the blossoming of her sexuality, but her overprotective mother watches over her daughter like a hawk. The more the budding romance comes into conflict with the strict rules of the boarding school, the more Mira discovers her rebellious side. The only question is whether the young love is as real as it seems.
