SYNOPSIS

Championed in her sporting activities by her teenage brother, Pierre-Amelia’s (11) innocent world shatters when her experience among an elite soccer team of older girls precipitates her sexual awakening and reveals an unsuspected desire for her brother. «Blaze» delicately explores the taboo of forbidden desire in an adolescent world where nascent passions are often at odds with social norms.
