Fat Girls

Twelve-year-old Anaïs and her fifteen-year-old sister, Elena, start their vacation with their parents in the picturesque seaside town of Les Mathes, France. The girls find themselves bored in their vacation home, sparking conversations about life, relationships, and their views on virginity.

While strolling into town, Anaïs and Elena engage in an open dialogue about their personal views on intimacy. Elena, the more conventionally attractive sister, reveals her plans to preserve her virginity for someone she truly loves, contrasting sharply with Anaïs's more casual approach to losing hers.

At a local café, the sisters encounter Fernando, an Italian law student who captivates Elena's interest. His charm quickly draws the sisters into conversations, marking the beginning of a complex relationship that will impact them deeply.

Fernando sneaks into the girls’ bedroom for an intimate meeting with Elena. Anaïs, still awake, becomes a silent witness to their interactions, observing the complex dynamics between her sister and Fernando.

During their meeting, Fernando pressures Elena into having sex under the guise of love, despite her initial hesitations. Despite consenting to the idea, she ultimately falters at the last moment, faced with Fernando's frustrations.

After relentless pressure, Fernando coerces Elena into anal sex, which she experiences as a painful act rather than an expression of love. This coerced intimacy illustrates the manipulative nature of their relationship and dampens Elena's sense of agency.

The following morning, Fernando asks Elena for oral sex before leaving, but Anaïs, tired of the situation, tells them to stop and let her rest. This interaction reinforces Anaïs' growing discomfort with her sister's choices and Fernando’s influence.

The next day, the three head to the beach, where Anaïs finds solace in the ocean and sings to herself. Meanwhile, Elena and Fernando continue to deepen their bond away from Anaïs, highlighting the shift in their relationships.

After their beach visit, the sisters reminisce about their childhood, during which Elena reveals that Fernando gave her an engagement ring. Anaïs, however, grows suspicious of Fernando's true intentions, sensing something amiss in their relationship.

Elena ultimately loses her virginity to Fernando while Anaïs silently weeps on the opposite side of the room. This event marks a pivotal moment in the sisters' lives, highlighting the emotional and relational turmoil they are experiencing.

Later, Fernando's mother confronts the family, demanding the return of the ring given to Elena. She reveals the ring's significance, belonging to a collection from Fernando's past lovers, fueling tensions within the family.

On the trip home, Fernando's mother grows tired and decides to rest at a rest stop. A horrifying confrontation occurs when a man attacks, smashing the car's windshield, resulting in a tragic sequence of violence that claims Elena's life.

As Anaïs attempts to escape the chaotic scene, the attacker grabs her and drags her into the woods. This traumatic event marks a dark turn for Anaïs, leading to unthinkable violence and suffering.

When police find Anaïs in the woods, they dismiss her account of being raped and falsely affirm that she retracted her statement. This moment starkly illustrates the systemic issues surrounding victimization and the complications Anaïs faces due to her appearance.

By the end of her traumatic experience, Anaïs learns to distrust men, reflecting on her harrowing experiences. This shift in perspective reinforces a poignant theme about the loss of innocence and the burdens of trauma.
