Synopsis:
Laetitia Dosch explodes on to, and is rarely off, the screen as Paula – a chaotic, impulsive thirty-something Parisienne – in this sensational directorial debut. Naturally unable to do anything but live in the moment, we watch Paula try her best to reclaim a measure of stability and independence, making new friends and reassessing figures from her past. An uplifting and life-enhancing movie.
With Jeune Femme, Sérraille has captured an at times painfully real story, with a brilliantly crafted and unapologetically brash character at the heart of it
