Synopse
Two sisters playing toxic games: the directorial debut of French actor Ariane Labed is a whimsical, surreal journey. Teenage sisters September and July are very close, but also very different. While September treats her sister with suspicious supervision, July is open and curious. Sheela, their single Mum, is often out of her depth trying to deal with the two sisters’ unpredictable dynamic. When all three women withdraw to a holiday home in Ireland after a mysterious incident at school, the tension between the sisters threatens to get out of control.
