Puppylove

A sensitive, intimate portrait of a teenage girl depicts the first sexual experience, various forms of desire and loss of innocence. Young Diane experiences the first glimpses of lust and feels attracted to some boys from her class as well as to the new girl in the neighborhood. Charismatic “Lolita” next door turns the life of introverted Diane upside down and becomes her guide on the journey to losing innocence. The new neighbor symbolizes and embraces all that Diane longs for, yet tries to suppress. The new Belgian picture explores traditional teenage problems and approaches them with a directness so typical of the 21st century. (Febiofest)
