Entre les vagues

Alma and Margot are best friends and dream of conquering the stages of Paris as actresses. They live fast, love intensely, and support each other when everything falls apart. Between rehearsals, rejections, small victories, and big doubts, they are inseparable—until life takes a turn that changes everything. With pulsating camera work and lively language, THE BRAVES (original title: ENTRE LES VAGUES) accompanies two young women who share more than just dreams: a hunger for life, anger, vulnerability – and an unshakeable belief in each other. Anaïs Volpé's cinema debut is an energetic drama about female friendship, artistic survival, and the fragility of young hope. The touching chemistry between Souheila Yacoub and Déborah Lukumuena carries every scene – raw, wild, honest. The film was screened in 2021 at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at the Cannes Film Festival and has won several awards, including at the Angers European First Film Festival. Visually defined by the imagery of Sean Price Williams (GOOD TIME), THE BRAVES is a French coming-of-age film with heart, pace, and attitude – about loyalty, love, and the courage to keep going when the waves come.
