* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: A VERY dark example. [[spoiler:Anais thinks it's better to lose your virginity to "nobody" just so you can get it over with. She ends up getting raped by an unnamed axe murderer.]]

* CompletelyDifferentTitle: ''À ma sœur !'' (''For my Sister!''), a title which reflects the sisterly relationship portrayed in the film, sometimes becomes ''Fat Girl'' in English, which focuses more on Anais as the protagonist.

* OverprotectiveDad: Anais's father is clearly suspicious of Fernando, and as soon as he learns he's given Elena a ring (which wasn't even his to give away, no less), he immediately has the girls brought home so that he can ascertain whether or not she's still a virgin. [[spoiler:Not that she ever makes it home.]]

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)[[note]]a prosthetic was used[[/note]], 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.]]

* {{Be Careful What You Wish For}}: A VERY dark example. [[spoiler:Anais thinks it's better to lose your virginity to "nobody" just so you can get it over with. She ends up getting raped by an unnamed axe murderer.]]

* {{Downer Ending}}: [[spoiler:Anais's mother and sister are murdered in a shocking and random act of violence, and Anais herself is raped. TheEnd.]]

* ParentalObliviousness: The parents don’t seem to be all that involved in their daughters’ lives. They are particularly cruel to Anais about her weight and eating habits. The father is a [[MarriedToTheJob workaholic]] who leaves the vacation early when something work-related comes up.

* ThirdWheel: Anais has no choice but to tag along on Elena’s outings with Fernando, which makes for an awkward experience.

* AllWomenAreLustful: Neither Anais nor Elena are sixteen, yet constantly have sex on the brain.

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 blossoming beauty, whereas Anais is chubby; hence the English title. Elena is sexually active but has not yet lost her virginity, wanting [[TheirFirstTime her first time]] to be with someone who truly loves her. Anais [[TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry is envious]] of her sister and longs to have sex herself, but is less of a romantic than her sister and claims she wants to lose her virginity to a “nobody” to just get it over with. Anais 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.

Elena is a vision of beauty, whereas Anais, while not by any means ugly, 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; [[TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry Anais is jealous]] and longs to have sex herself.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: As Anais throws up on the side of the road during the car ride back home, Elena angrily wishes their mother was dead, and that she didn't care if she herself died too. When Anais tells her to speak for herself, Elena assures her that she has nothing to worry about, ass he's not in the dead man (passenger) seat. [[spoiler:Elena and their mother end up dying, while Anais, in the backseat, survives.]]

* DullSurprise: [[spoiler:Anais's reaction to an axe murderer breaking the windshield and killing Elena is to continue chewing her snack and stare at the murderer with a dull expression. When the murderer moves on to strangle her mother, her expression doesn't change either and she simply gets out of the car.]]

* PottyFailure: Anais urinates over herself [[spoiler:as the axe murderer kills her mother.]] It's about all the appropriate reaction she gets during the scene.
