About this movie

Set in Marseilles, this coming-of-age tale centres on a beautiful and outrageously flirtatious teenage girl, Lila and the poetic but shy boy Chimo on whom she focuses her attentions. Bemused but excited, Chimo is intoxicated by Lila's charms. One day, Lila dares Chimo to look up her skirt - 'if he can handle it' - and by doing so, put into motion a sequence of events that have devastating consequences, laying bare the dangers of playing games.
