JIFF: A Radiant Girl

"A masterfully assembled coming-of-age that falls in love, enchants, unsettles and breaks your heart." - La Estatuilla

It’s 1942. Irene, a young Jewish woman with a passion for theatre, lives with her family in Paris. She pays no heed to the events unfolding across Europe; her attention is focussed on her upcoming drama school audition, romantic liaisons, and her work as a theatre usher. She exists in a reverie that renders her immune to the outside world. Meanwhile, restrictions are gradually imposed upon the Jewish community… soon, Irene’s life will change forever.
