1997. Eight-year-old Linda drifts from her wealthy grandmother’s Swiss villa with her carefree mother, Eva. In Italy, they meet sisters Azzurra and Marta. A chance summer encounter binds the three girls in a gang to protect each other, their youth, and freedom. Around them swirl selfish parents chasing fragile dreams, gossiping neighbors, and a queer babysitter searching for belonging in a homophobic world.

ಜೆಸಿಕಾ, ಪೆರ್ಲಾ, ಜುಲಿ, ಆರಿಯಾನ್ ಮತ್ತು ನೈಮಾ — ಈ ಐವರು ಹದಿಹರೆಯದ ತಾಯಂದಿರು ಯುವ ತಾಯಂದಿರಿಗಾಗಿ ಇರುವ ಆಶ್ರಯ ತಾಣದಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರಿಗೂ ಅವರ ಕಂದಮ್ಮಗಳಿಬ್ಬರಿಗೂ ಹಸನಾದ ಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ, ತಾಯ್ತನ ಮತ್ತು ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿಗಳ ನಡುವೆಯೇ ಮುಂದಿನ ಬದುಕಿನ ದಾರಿಯನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

Jean-Pierre (b. 1951) and Luc Dardenne (b. 1954), brothers from Belgium's gritty Liège area, grew up amid steel mills and hardship that shaped their raw films. Jean-Pierre studied acting, Luc philosophy; inspired by docs, they founded Les Films du Fleuve. Key works include LA PROMESSE (1996), ROSETTA (1999, Palme d'Or), L'ENFANT (2005, Palme d'Or), TWO DAYS, ONE NIGHT (2014). Their handheld, no-music style captures working-class moral struggles simply and honestly, earning Cannes Grand Prix and Best Director nods.
