Scenario
Liana, 19 years old, lives with her mother and sister in Fréjus in the south of France. Possessed by the desire for beauty and fame, she auditions for a reality show called "Island of Miracles". Agatha Riedinger's film does not reproduce romantic clichés. He is surprisingly authentic and, like life, unsweetened. Impeccable performance of the actors and development of characters that are hard not to get attached to. An excellent script that deliberately avoids the beaten path of drama with a maturity rarely found among debutantes. The director hints at them and then consistently leads us down another path. The reality of this film is far from the black and white simplifications that decades of patriarchal storytelling have taught us. The topic here is women. A beautiful film, an amazing debut. 10/10.
