Manon, 17, leaves the Swiss mountains to head out in search of her father, who is nowhere to be found. As she forms new bonds and encounters her first love, she is determined to follow the path she has set herself on the ice: to become a professional hockey player. RIVIERE is a coming-of-age film which advocates tolerance by telling the story of two girls who explore their dreams and wounds on and off the ice.

Film is in French with English Subtitles.

“Hugues Hariche portrays a delicate but strong female character in a drama that looks specifically at realism while observing the depth of the characters and situations. The result is a feature film (..) that reaches highs of tenderness and intimacy.” - Adriano Ercolani, Locarno Daily

“Hariche provides the teenage protagonists the depth they deserve as they gather without the distraction of cell phone screens, laptops. Love in the film is young, pure and honest, as riddled with curiosity and anxiety as ever.” - Holly Jones, Variety
