The Girls We Want

About This Movie

So, 'The Girls We Want' is this intriguing drama set against the backdrop of Marseille during summer. Omar, at just 20, is managing a kids' summer camp with friends, but it’s not all carefree fun. You can really feel the weight of their youthful dreams clashing with deep-seated prejudices. And then, bam, Carmen returns after a long absence, and suddenly the group’s dynamic gets super charged.

The performances are genuine, capturing that awkwardness and intensity of youth beautifully. The pacing feels natural, allowing you to soak in the tension without feeling rushed.
