Synopsis

Eva Husson writes and directs this French film that will bring us a new perspective on the discovery of sexuality in adolescence and prejudices that occur during youth. The story centers on George, a 16 years old young girl, popular and wanting to live life, falls in love with Alex. George looks for ways to draw the attention of Alex, so will begin a sexual game where participants will be several. Alex, Nikita, Laetitia, Gabriel and increasingly companions, begin to explore the limits of their sexuality, coming to live situations that would not have imagined. Love, scandal, sex and a value system in decline, will make each member of these strange practices occupy a part of this period, though each will live in a whole other way. Where is the limit of sexuality and love?
