Reality TV is one thing and reality is another, in this powerful social satire firmly rooted in the traditions of Italian cinema, with Monica Bellucci and a Cannes award in its arsenal. Wonderful cinematography by Hélène Louvart, the director of photography in Panos H. Koutras' "Xenia".

When the summer ends, nothing will be as before for a teenage girl and her sisters.
