ORIGINAL TITLE
Le bambine

The debut feature from sisters Valentina and Nicole Bertani is a swirling, stylish twist on the coming-of-age film. Set in 1997, the film follows 8-year-old Linda, who hails from a wealthy family, as she meets two other girls, Azzura and Martha, forging a summertime sisterhood that protects them in clashes major and minor with the selfish, petty agendas of the adults in their midst. An especially visually striking debut, Mosquitoes exists in a saturated hyperreality that is consummately engrossing, and announces the Bertani sisters as formidable portraitists of girlhood cast against the backdrop of an alternately beautiful and oppressive world.
