Twelve-year-old Anais is fat. Her sister, fifteen-year-old Elena, is a beauty. While the girls are on vacation with their parents, Anais tags along while Elena explores the dreary seaside town. Elena meets Fernando, an Italian law student; he seduces herwith promises of love, and the ever watchful Anais bears witness to the corruption of her sister's innocence. Fat Girl (A ma soeur!) is not only a portrayal of female adolescent sexuality and the complicated bond between siblings but also a shocking assertion by the always controversial CatherineBreillat that violent oppression exists at the core of male-female relations.
