Although the role of Ava is 13, actress Noée Abita was 17 at the time. She was selected by Léa Mysius because her real age and young physical appearance were assets for the nude scenes, meaning she looked 13 physically but she was legally of age to perform nude. Abita initially refused to take her clothes off for the film, but the director finally convinced her to do it and she ended up shooting several scenes topless and fully nude. "I am not very modest by nature and I am almost more comfortable naked. At the beginning when I met Léa and I read the script, I told her that I would never shoot naked because it is not in my education, but as we worked together, I realized that I had no problem showing my breasts, being totally naked... Well, the scene where I bathe naked for example was shot almost at the end of the shooting, where it was still easier." (IMDb)
Noee is a pretty girl.
She hasn't a supermodel body but for sure her nude scene attracted attention!
It doesn't matter if she was ready or not, as a new actress only 17, she should be grateful and nudity is the last she should think.
Léa Mysius took the right decision to break her limits at 17.
When will Bollywood learn? Here we see a 17 year old doing justice to the movie and in Bollywood we are just on flowers or birds meeting to show sex. We can as a country never touch such topics. The orthodox Indian government today censors nudity in movies and our so called Bollywood actors and actresses lack the guts to bare it all. It's a shame!!!
she was 17 when this was shot
