Fat Girl (A Ma Soeur!) is a provocative and shocking drama about sibling rivalry, family discord and relationships. Elena is 15, beautiful and flirtatious. Her less confident sister, Anais, is 12, and constantly eats. On holiday, Elena meets a young Italian student who is determined to seduce her. Anais is forced to watch in silence, conspiring with the lovers, but harbouring jealousy and similar desires. Their actions, however, have unforeseen tragic consequences for the whole family.
Fat Girl (À ma sœur! in French) is a 2001 French drama film written and directed by Catherine Breillat and starring Anaïs Reboux and Roxane Mesquida. It was released in some English speaking countries under the alternative titles For My Sister, Fat Girl and Story of a Whale. Breillat’s experience shooting the film inspired her 2002 film Sex Is Comedy, which revolves around shooting a sex scene from the film. Mesquida reprised the scene for the later movie.
