From high school to university and beyond, Ramya chases the (unlikely) idea of finding the perfect boy while navigating social rules, strict parents, unrequited crushes and the unfiltered chaos inside her own head. Born and raised in Tamil Nadu, in southern India, she tries to reconcile a conservative education with an inner life that refuses to obey.
A mischievous and tender comedy from young director Varsha Bharath, about freedom, stumbles and the resilience of a protagonist as imperfect as she is irresistible, caught between what she lives and what she imagines. Bad Girl plays with the codes of romantic comedy to explore generational divides and the journey of a young woman carving her own path in a world where options seem already decided.
Catalonia Premiere. With the presence of Varsha Bharath.
