Well that doesn't translate as 'Water Lilies'. Literally it means 'Birth of octopuses'. But according to the director "Pour moi, la pieuvre est ce monstre qui grandit dans notre ventre quand nous tombons amoureux, cet animal maritime qui lâche son encre en nous. C’est ce qui arrive à mes personnages dans le film, trois adolescentes, Marie, Anne et Floriane. Et justement, la pieuvre a pour particularité d’avoir trois cœurs. » La « naissance des pieuvres », c'est donc la naissance de l'amour à l'âge de l'adolescence." In other words, the feeling of adolescent love growing in the stomach like an octopus, an octopus with three hearts.
She does catch these girls well. Pauline Acquart is the shy one who develops a fixation on a 'slut' on the swim team, Adèle Haenel, and in doing so betrays her better friend Louise Blachère.
And I have to say the synchronized swimming looked brilliant, and hard to do.
It was filmed in Cergy, Val d'Oise. a 1960s 'New town' about an hour and a half to the northwest of Paris.
