Maligne - Noémie Caillault

A quiet, weathered lakeside town becomes the stage for a coming-of-age tale centered on a young woman navigating loss, memory, and the fragile bonds of family. As she returns to the place where her childhood summers unfolded, she confronts a tangle of unresolved secrets that siblings, parents, and old friends have kept tucked away. The film follows her inner journey as she pieces together what was buried, learning to trust her own voice and to step beyond fear. Through intimate rituals, small gestures, and luminous landscapes, the story traces how tenderness and resilience can reframe a life waking up to possibility.
