Slalom

15 year-old Lyz, a high school student in the French Alps, has been accepted to a highly selective ski club whose aim is to train future professional athletes. Fred, ex-champion turned coach, decides to make Lyz his shining star regardless of her lack of experience. Talented, and made vulnerable by her single-minded determination to succeed on the slopes, Lyz is keen to impress her mentor, unaware that his interest in her strays way beyond the professional. This impressing debut delves with delicacy into the confusion experienced by a minor suffering abuse at the hands of a trusted role model.
