synopsis
The romantic and sexual yearnings of a group of suburban French teens are the subject of this mild drama. In particular, it tells the story of Sandrine, a girl who knows what she wants and with whom she wants to do it. She was having a little fling with a lad by the name of Didier, but sets her sights on a fellow named Joel. When her father catches the two of them in bed together, the ensuing row almost results in Sandrine having to miss her friend Martine's wedding. None of the teens in this film is (so far) a professional actor, and reviewers found their naturalness very refreshing.
