Petites

'Petites' is a French film that follows Camille, a sixteen-year-old girl who finds out she's pregnant. As a result, a judge decrees that she must be separated from her mother, with whom she has a toxic relationship, and placed in a specialized centre for teenage mothers. There, Camille meets the immature Alison, another of the young mothers in the centre, and rebelliously confronts the authoritarian figure of Nadine, one of the centre's social educators. These encounters will change her life forever.
