La Maladroite
Six-year-old Stella is attending school for the first time. She is a joyful, exuberant child, perhaps too much so, yet her absences are frequent. Her parents describe her as fragile. When her teacher, Céline, asks about the bruises, Stella says she fell. A gnawing doubt takes root—is this a genuine immune deficiency or the marks of abuse? This uncertainty grows in the minds of all who encounter her. Worried, Céline begins documenting every injury, until the day the family vanishes without a trace.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film is a masterclass in sustained tension, built from glances, hesitations, and the terrifying ambiguity of a child's word. It refuses easy answers, implicating the viewer in the same agonizing uncertainty as its characters.
What lingers after the credits is the chilling question of responsibility: the cost of inaction versus the violence of a wrong assumption. A quiet, devastating study of doubt. — MovieFinder Editorial
