A group of teenage girls have been placed in a residential care home with social workers. They live under the same roof but haven’t chosen each other. This experience creates unexpected tensions and intimacies. An incident triggers a chain of overreactions, but their lust for life also strengthens bonds. Just like a family. Fred Baillif’s third fiction feature was developed over two years and drew on his own past experience as a street social worker. He worked with real residents and staff in a care home to play the fictional characters, with the ensemble cast composed of non-professional actors. La Mif had its world premiere at the 2021 Berlin Film Festival where it won the Generation 14Plus Grand Prix for best film.
