What is the film about?
Girls Will Be Girls is a coming-of-age drama that delves into the life of 16-year-old Mira, portrayed by Preeti Panigrahi and her tense relationship with her mother in the hormonal throes of nascent adulthood. Set against the backdrop of a strict boarding school in the Himalayas, the film explores Mira's journey of teenage love through the lens of societal judgement of female desire. The film takes a look at mother-daughter affection and rivalry, and bodily autonomy, among other things.
Expressing her excitement about the film's international release, Richa Chadha said, "We are incredibly proud to see Girls Will Be Girls embraced warmly on a global platform. The film's themes resonate universally, and we are excited for audiences in France and the UK to be among the first to experience it."
"We have been extremely elated with all the global recognition the film has been receiving including the wins at Sundance. The film also recently screened at the UK chapter of Sundance. Now we are eagerly anticipating the moment when viewers in India can watch it too towards the end of this year”.
Girls Will Be Girls is an Indo-French co-production between India's Pushing Buttons Studios, France's Dolce Vita Films and Blink Digital.
