The magnum opus of director Catherine Breillat (Last Summer), an ever-provocative titan of contemporary French cinema who remains as controversial as she is acclaimed; Fat Girl is a portrayal of female adolescent sexuality and the complicated bond between siblings, as well as a brutal, unflinching assertion that violent oppression exists at the core of all male-female relations.

While twelve-year-old Anaïs and her fifteen-year-old sister Elena are on vacation with their parents, Anaïs tags along as Elena explores the dreary seaside town. Elena meets Fernando, an Italian law student who seduces her with promises of love, and the ever watchful Anaïs bears witness to the corruption of her sister’s innocence.
