Water Lilies

At its center is Marie, a shy and reserved teenager who watches from the sidelines and falls in love with Floriane, a charismatic and beautiful swimmer.

Between them develops a delicate relationship shaped by glances, jealousy, curiosity, and confusion, alongside a third figure, Anne, an outgoing friend trying to understand what it means to be desired.

Sciamma approaches female adolescence not as a grand romantic or dramatic narrative, but as a state of mind: small moments, silences, awkwardness, ambiguous attraction, and the gap between what is felt and what one dares to express.
