The Girl With A Bracelet - 2019 - 6/10
AKA - La Fille au Bracelet

Lise, vacationing with her family, is apprehended at the beach.
She offers no resistance, then waits two years for the trial.
The charge? Violent, stabbing murder of her best friend.
What plays out is a courtroom drama, with the prosecutor quietly slurring and trashing the accused’s reputation.
There is little evidence, no murder weapon, so the trial focuses on her private life.
Lise is stone-faced throughout. Most of the reactions come from her parents.
A generational divide, with parents assuming young girls remain children even when they are 15, then 16.
Always bear in mind, in France, accused are considered guilty until proven innocent.
