Although Dalva is 12, she dresses, wears make-up and lives like a woman. One evening, she’s suddenly taken away from her father’s house. Dumbfounded and outraged at first, she later meets Jayden, a social worker, and Samia, a teen with a temper. A new life seems to start for Dalva, that of a girl her age.
Born in 1985 in Sedan, France, she graduated from the IAD Film School (Institut des Arts et de Diffusion) in Leuven, after first studying modern literature. Her first short film, ‘Rae’ (2012), received 15 awards. In addition to directing, she works as a casting director, specializing in open-call castings. Since 2013, she has worked on 6 short films and 3 feature films. In 2016, she directed her second short film, ‘Snatched’, which received 17 awards. ‘Love According to Dalva’ (2022), her first feature film, was selected for the Critics’ Week at the Cannes Film Festival and won the Fipresci award.
