Etel

Etel is a 9 years old young girl , living in Jewish traditions, her sister prepairing to marry, the protection of mother and a terrible discover on internet after a joke of boys changing her life. The first menstruation and the impurety term are sources of a storm of emotions and reactions.

A short film about childhood image about near reality of adults. Fragments of truth, jokes, reaction of adults, secrets and shadows, first time recognized as adult and the tough responsability.

And your answers, far to be the most wise but inspired by panik and intense fear.

In short, a gentle, smart crafted short film about becoming woman at a very early age. And, sure, about family, love of mother, manners to understand and assume new status.

Admirable acted, splendid construction of story.
