13-year-old Ava resolves to make the most of the time left with her failing eyesight in this award-winning romantic drama from debut filmmaker Léa Mysius.
"Thirteen-year-old Ava is on a summer holiday in the Medoc region when she learns a degenerative condition that is turning her blind has accelerated. Rather than wallow in her imminent disability, Ava chooses to embrace her remaining senses and explore her burgeoning sensuality, as encouraged by her mother (Laure Calamy). An encounter with a young troublemaker, Juan (Juan Cano), sends Ava on a series of adventures she would never have dared to do before her prognosis." (Alliance Française)
