Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
This drama concerns the passage to womanhood of an adolescent girl. Even though the story includes some antediluvian jokes, it marks the first time Spanish authorities allowed such a topic to make it past the censors. The girl has a crush on her high-school teacher and has her first menstrual period. Her classmates' general ignorance about sexual matters is set forth for all to see, and this ignorance causes the heroine a lot of distress until it is dispelled.
