Étrange dit l'ange

There's no "there" there. This film has absolutely no viewpoint, makes no conclusion, and leaves the viewer wondering what if anything is happening with the main character, a seven-year-old girl.

She's vacationing with family near a flooded river that is reportedly contaminated. She offers to be the aunt's daughter, offers to be - in the innocent way of a child - her father's lover, plays with her sister, and takes off down the river.

We see fireworks, the grandmother's partially completed mastectomy, the aunt skinny-dipping. The scenery and camera work are pretty good throughout.

The advertising blurb for the film asks, what is the girl's place in this world? We'll never have a clue: if the writer/director was trying to say something, he failed miserably.
