Ava

Followed by a talk with Riah Knight

Thirteen‑year‑old Ava spends the summer at the French seaside with her unconventional mother and newborn sister, when she suddenly learns she will soon go blind. Refusing to give up her joy and curiosity, she meets the mysterious Juan and, together, they defy the world around them. In their shared rebellion and fragile first love, Ava experiences the singular magic of a summer that will never return.
