Julie is considered one of the greatest young talents of the Belgian tennis association. When her coach Jérémy is suspended for questionable working methods, her world is shaken. An investigation is launched and all the players at the tennis school are asked to testify. But Julie remains silent. The more people around her raise their voices, the greater the pressure becomes.
Leonardo Van Dijl's award-winning directorial debut tells a haunting story of heteronomy, abuse of power and the quiet but profound processes of female self-discovery. Julie's silence raises the question of how she can find her own strength in a world that has dictated the rules to her until now.
