Dalva

Dalva - Emmanuelle Nicot - 2023

Dalva, 12, lives like an adult: she dresses, wears make-up and behaves like a woman. One evening, she is abruptly snatched from her father's home, whom she had idealized. At first lost and angry, Dalva struggles to understand what is happening to her. Gradually, thanks to Jayden, a caring educator, and Samia, a lively, free-spirited teenager, she discovers another world: that of the childhood she was robbed of. This sensitive tale recounts the reconstruction of a young girl who relearns to grow up at her own pace, between pain, disillusionment and rebirth.
