The Girls We Want

During the Marseille summer break, a youth camp becomes a tight knit crew. Omar, twenty, keeps the camp running with a circle of lifelong friends, sharing jokes, work shift chaos, and night talks. The teens in their care are bright, bold, and sometimes judgmental, carrying hopes and prejudices in equal measure. When Carmen returns after years away, she stirs old loyalties and unsettles the group’s code of conduct. Her unguarded energy and refusal to polish her truth push everyone to test what they want, what they deserve, and how far they’ll go to belong. The summer hums with music, heat, and questions about love and identity, as the enclave recalibrates around her presence. No one stays untouched by the heat.

Directed by Prïncia Car and Léna Mardi, The Girls We Want unfolds from an original screenplay. The film is rooted in a contemporary Marseille setting, capturing a sun drenched summer that acts as catalyst for its characters and their stories.
