After her abusive father is arrested,12 year-old Dalva is taken into care. Acting more like an adult, her social workers and new roommates find it difficult to connect with her. Gradually with their help, Dalva accepts that her relationship with her father was not normal, allowing her to experience the joys of childhood previously denied.
Tackling difficult subject matter with the utmost care and sensitivity, this is a remarkable film about one young girl’s journey as she emerges from a horrific situation. Writer/Director Emmanuelle Nicot’s debut is a compassionate exploration of hope and recovery.
