Synopsis
Clara, a 13-year-old tomboy, agrees to radically change her style in order to be able to participate in the music video of her older brother and friend. After the change of appearance, however, Clara begins to feel uncomfortable with the new and undesirable attention. The change in the behaviour of her brother’s friends is clear, as is Clara’s embarrassment with their gaze. Touching on topics such as coming of age and the discovery of sexuality, Canadian director Camille Poirier, who previously specialised in video editing, presents her first short film after completing her studies in the field of Cinema.
