'''''A ma soeur!''''' ('''''For my Sister'''''), released in some English-speaking countries as '''''Fat Girl''''', is a 2001 French drama film directed by [[Catherine Breillat]].
 
Sisters Anais and Elena Pingot ([[Anais Reboux]] and [[Roxane Mesquida]]) are on a vacation at the seaside with their mother and [[Workaholic]] father. Anais is 13 and Elena is 15. Elena is a vision of beauty, whereas Anais, while not by any means ugly, [[Fat Girl|is also not by any means slim; hence the English title]]. Though Elena has not yet lost her virginity, she could do so at any time with any man she wanted; [[The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry|Anais is jealous]] and longs to have sex herself. She can only lurk, seething in the background, as Elena carries out a torrid affair with and eventually does lose her virginity to Italian exchange law student Fernando ([[Libero De Rienzo]]) in front of her.
 
The film is notable for its themes of teenage sexuality, graphic sexual scenes (there is one uncensored shot of Fernando putting a condom over his erect penis), and for its ending: {{spoiler|the girls' mother discovers that Elena has had sex and rushes home to have her VD tested. Whilst they are staying the night on the road in their car, a thug breaks in, kills Elena with an axe, strangles the mother, and then pursues Anais into the woods and rapes her. Thus; her desire for sex is fulfilled, albeit through rape and at the cost of the life of the sister she both loved and hated}}.
