Description
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.
