Pénélope-Rose Lévèque is beautiful! Probably 15 in this movie?
I can't find any information on the production of this film but Pénélope was born on September 26, 1991 and it premiered at the Tous Courts Short Film festival on December 6, 2007. A little over two months after she turned 16. The submission deadline for inclusion for that festival is mid-June. So a copy had to be submitted to their committee by then.
They're basically outside the entire time and in the woods. Based on the state of the foliage, green but not completely filled in and lush like mid-summer I'm going to guess they filmed in the spring, April or early May. If it was 2007 they would've then had up to two months for post-production. That's doable for a 13 minute short without a lot of fancy editing or special effects.
But because of the tight deadline it's possible they filmed the previous year instead, when Pénélope was 14. Anything completed after January 1, 2006 would've been eligible for inclusion in the 2007 festival according to their rules. Without more information we have no way of knowing. She was no older than 15 though, for sure.
