Ava

In the poignant and powerful "Ava," director Léa Mysius crafts a summer of reckoning for a 13-year-old girl on the cusp of blindness, as Retinitis Pigmentosa steals away her night vision and peripheral sight. With a fierce determination to live life to the fullest, Ava finds an unlikely companion in an 18-year-old's dog, Lupo, and a young man named Juan who is fleeing his past. As their summer of mischief and romance unfolds, the film becomes a tender exploration of mother-daughter relationships, first love, and the resilience of the human spirit.
