Girlhood

You don't have the full story. Until you know hers.

A intimate, melancholic portrait of a young woman seeking freedom and belonging through gang life, caught between the bonds of friendship and the harsh realities of her circumstances.

Oppressed by her family setting, dead-end school prospects and the boys law in the neighborhood, Marieme starts a new life after meeting a group of three free-spirited girls. She changes her name, her dress code, and quits school to be accepted in the gang, hoping that this will be a way to freedom.
