Water Lilies is not only a film about teenage girls, but also a film about water. Water is a recurring motif and symbol in the film, representing both the beauty and the danger of the girls' emotions and desires. Water is where they perform their synchronized swimming routines, where they express their creativity and grace, but also where they hide their secrets and fears. Water is where they can be free, but also where they can drown.
The film also explores the themes of identity, sexuality and friendship among the girls. Marie, who is skinny and flat-chested, develops a crush on Floriane, who is the star of the swimming team and the object of male attention. Floriane, who seems confident and seductive, is actually insecure and lonely, and uses sex as a way to cope with her boredom and dissatisfaction. Anne, who is overweight and clumsy, is in love with FranÃois, a boy from the swimming team who only sees her as a friend. Anne struggles with her body image and self-esteem, and tries to fit in with the other girls.
The film shows how the girls navigate their complex feelings and relationships, sometimes hurting each other, sometimes helping each other, sometimes betraying each other, sometimes loving each other. The film does not judge or moralize the girls' choices or actions, but rather portrays them with honesty and empathy. The film also does not offer easy answers or resolutions, but leaves the viewers to draw their own conclusions and interpretations.
Water Lilies is a film that will make you think and feel, a film that will stay with you long after you watch it. If you are interested in watching this film, you can download it from various torrent sites using the keyword "Water Lilies 2007 PROPER DVDRip XviD - NODLABS".
