Directed by Fred Bailiff, La Mif takes us inside a
home for troubled teenage girls in Geneva to tell individual and collective
stories. Former social worker Bailiff cast his film from the real residents
and staff of a care home.
La Mif is in UK cinemas from February 25th.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
LA MIF (Mif is the French slang word for family) is set in a residential care home in Geneva, where a group of teenage girls from difficult backgrounds live as a community with social workers. Sharing joy and pain, the forced “family” experience creates unexpected tensions and intimacies. When an incident arises, the fall-out reveals the weaknesses of the outdated contemporary social care system.
