Leonardo Van Dijl’s impressive feature debut is an affecting study of abuse and repression within a prestigious tennis academy.
Julie lives and breathes tennis. A star pupil, she’s poised for a promising career. When her coach is suspended after the suicide of a former prodigy, suspicions of inappropriate conduct arise. Urged to speak up, Julie’s silence becomes more concerning the longer she refrains from saying anything.
Van Dijl’s confident, quietly potent drama exposes the insidious nature of abuse and its aftermath.
