Synopsis
The Girl with a Bracelet (La Fille au bracelet, 2020) is a French-Belgian courtroom drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Stéphane Demoustier and featuring Chiara Mastroianni and Roschdy Zem, it follows sixteen-year-old Lise — arrested at the beach during a family holiday, charged with murdering her closest friend, and fitted with an ankle monitor while the case works its way to trial.
Her parents are loyal and present through every court date. But as testimony unfolds and her hidden life surfaces — the relationships no one knew about, the behaviour witnesses describe — the gap between the daughter they thought they raised and the person taking shape in the courtroom becomes harder to ignore. Demoustier keeps the camera at a careful distance, letting the silence do its work.
What makes this film stick is not the question of guilt but the quieter one underneath it: how well do we actually know the people closest to us? Understated, precise, and unsettling in ways that linger. Stream The Girl with a Bracelet (2020) online on iFILM.
