About

A teenage rower in a small town develops feelings for her older brother's new girlfriend, forcing her to confront her identity.

Fifteen-year-old Malou (Femke Vanhove) lives in a small town, where she is one of the strongest rowers at the local club. Her teammates, however, exclude and bully her, and her mother is often absent. The person she can rely on most is her older brother Max (Wout Vleugels). When Max introduces her to his new girlfriend Nouria (Lina Miftah), Malou develops feelings for her. That attraction brings Malou into a conflict of loyalty and sets her on a path of self-discovery, questioning her relationships and facing her own identity.
