The drama “Cavale” starts out with its hero, Kathy, kicking and screaming. Kathy (Lisa Viance) is being committed to a psychiatric facility for teenage girls in the Belgian countryside. Doctors and orderlies promise stability — using pills and calorie-burning trips to the pool to regulate the wildness of their young charges. Instead, she orchestrates an escape, stealing a car from the facility’s parking lot in an attempt to make her way to the father she’s never met. But Kathy finds herself with unexpected company when her two raucous roommates, Nabila (Yamina Zaghouani ) and Carole (Noa Pellizari ), jump at the opportunity for freedom, however therapeutically or legally ill-advised.
