Water Lilies

In a French suburb during a hot summer, Marie is eager to join the synchronized swimming team at a local pool. However, her motivation is questioned—is she genuinely interested in the sport or simply using it as an opportunity to be close to Floriane, the rebellious girl on the team? Sciamma, along with the two main characters, portrays the ambiguity of teenage sexuality with empathy in this delicate coming-of-age tale.
