Marseille, the holidays. Omar, 20, oversees the children of summer camp with his longtime friends. The adolescents are full of dreams, principles, and prejudices. When Carmen returns after years being away, the group dynamic is put to the test. In a group where boys view girls as whore to fuck or chicks to marry and where reputation is everything, the electric and free spirit Carmen triggers everyone to question his own belief, desire, and sexuality.

“The air in Prïncia Car’s The Girls We Want is thick with the heat of a Marseille summer and the restless energy of youth. The film establishes its cultural footing immediately, rooting its story in a specific French reality while preparing to explore dynamics that feel universal.” – Gazettely
