Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLaure Calamy has several nude scenes in this movie. "I feel very quickly at ease. Nudity tells something primitive, it transcends the times, it is universal," she says. In a dreamy scene, she appears with her legs spread on a counter. "I suggested to Léa Mysius that we see a little more than the pubic hair, that the vulva appears, in a slightly primitive state. She was so happy, she framed the sex in the center of the shot! I think it's great, it's almost political."
- GoofsAva gets pretty bad vision in dark places early in the film, to the point where she can't see a hand waved a few centimeters in front of her face standing beside a fire at night. Later she gets into an abandoned building with almost no light coming in and she sees even small objects perfectly.

Featured review
28th STOCKHOLM INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL. DAY 1, NOV 8th 2017. Swedish premiere of "Ava" (2017).
A beautiful, well-paced drama about being on the border between childhood and adulthood, "Ava" is a promising feature debut from Léa Mysius.
There is fine acting, a strong screenplay, good direction and deep emotions of fear, frustration, curiosity, excitement, joy, love, sensuality, as 13-year-old Ava learns she has an incurable eye disease that will soon make her blind. She tries to cope with it as best she can -- all while falling in love with an older boy and running away from home, during a hot summer on the French Atlantic coast.
