Skiff

15-year-old Malou has two sides: when she’s rowing in competitions, she’s confident and determined, but in the girls’ locker room, she has to endure her bullies while feeling vulnerable. Things are easier at home with her older brothers, Max and Alex, who always have Malou’s back—even though she and her mom often clash. Max’s new girlfriend, Nouria, turns Malou’s world upside down. Empathetic and quick-witted, Nouria seems to understand her in a way Malou isn’t used to. Soon, Malou finds herself in a surprising situation: she has a crush on her brother’s girlfriend. Faced with her feelings, Malou is forced to confront difficult questions: who is she really, and can she let herself fall for someone when her relationship with her own brother is at stake?
