"Striking feature-length debut from Belgian filmmaker Emmanuelle Nicot, awarded at international festivals such as Cannes, Rotterdam and São Paulo. 'Dalva' tells the story of Dalva (Zelda Samson), a 12 year old girl who acts and dresses like an adult until one day she is taken away by social workers and starts discovering what a normal life for a girl her age really looks like. Unveiling a devastating truth little by little, Nicot manages to find hope and joy, helped by a powerful performance from young Samson."
