a frilly dress

The essential virtue of this short film is the wise manner to reflect, faithful, the transformations of a teenager in clash against the expectations of adult. The story is simple and precise crafted. The drawings are more than beautiful and the tension is created with high care. No dialogue but the message sounds clear and loud. And the frustration of the sportif girl for who the mother tries develop the feminin side with make up and the frilly dress, the photo reminding the childhood comformism, the beginning offering record of basket match are enough for fair atmosphere and smart conception. For the last, the epic fight of girl against carnivor flower dress is just lovely to impressive.

In short, faithful portrait of so familiar reality of emancipation.
