From the director of  Tomboy  and  Water  Lilies  comes the critically acclaimed GIRLHOOD, an intimate portrait of female friendship and a compelling coming-of-age story.

Oppressed  by  her  family  setting,  dead-end  school  prospects  and  the  boys  law  in  the neighbourhood,  Marieme  starts  a  new  life  after  meeting  a  group  of  three  free-spirited  girls.

She changes her name, her style, and quits school to be accepted in the gang, hoping that this will be a way to freedom. As she falls further under their gang lifestyle, she begins to make foolish choices that could impact her life forever.
