Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
Based on a true story, this French drama tells the story of a troubled young girl who is sent to a juvenile center located near her home in the South of France. There she meets a fellow drug addict and has a sexual relationship with him until he is tossed out. It is then that she learns that he had the AIDS virus and that she has it too. Though it is a terrible tragedy, it does serve to open doors of reconciliation between the girl and her family.
