A player in a prestigious sports club, Julie (Tessa van den Broeck) dedicates her life to tennis, her sport, her training, and her career. When her coach is suspended, rumours start spreading and voices, other than Julie’s, are heard. Focused on her sports goals, Julie chooses to keep quiet. Belgian director, Leonardo Van Dijl, follows her each step of the way, one ball after the next, respecting her decision, always choosing the right angle, keeping the right distance, that is to say the most accurate – and most importantly – the fairest. “I wanted Julie to inspire. There's a uniquely emancipatory, rebellious energy in Julie's decision not to speak, as it compels the film to respect her pace and not bow to external pressures”, Van Dijl noted. Sometimes silence is louder than words.
Screening as part of French Film Festival UK.
