A Ma Soeur! is a provocative and shocking drama about sibling rivalry, family discord and relationships. Elena is 15, beautiful and flirtatious. Her less confident sister, Anais, is 12, and constantly eats. On holiday, Elena meets a young Italian student who is determined to seduce her. Anais is forced to watch in silence, conspiring with the lovers, but harbouring jealousy and similar desires. Their actions, however, have unforeseen tragic consequences for the whole family.
Catherine Breillat, director of "Romance", has created a modern fable that is a touching, traumatic study of adolescence with a terrific performance from Roxane Mesquida as Elena and an extraordinary debut from new discovery Anais Reboux as Anais. With a truly numbing ending, A Ma Soeur! is an unforgettable and powerful experience.
