SCOPE 100

This year's Polish winner is:

AVA

Watchable. Light summer fun. Hot sun and hot young people. Shot in and around Bayonne, the part of France close to the Spanish border. Starts with a beach and a lovely dog. Then you meet a beautiful girl and a handsome boy - both mischievous. Things get steamy too which is shown quite graphically. Lastly, there's a budding love. A very pleasant movie. The only minus is that the girl, acted by Noée Abita - 19-year-old at the time - is said to be only 13 in the depicted story so her getting stark naked, a number of times in that, feels somewhat pedophiliac.
