Parce qu'on est des filles

Details

Une famille conformiste indo-canadienne d’une petite ville de la Colombie-Britannique porte un épouvantable secret : trois sœurs ont subi dès l’enfance les agressions sexuelles d’un proche plus âgé. Après avoir gardé le silence durant près de 25 ans, elles choisissent de révéler la vérité, non seulement pour protéger d’autres jeunes parentes, mais surtout pour donner l’exemple à leurs propres filles.
