Synopsis

Anne and Frederique are sisters entering their teen years in 1963 France, torn between divorced parents and struggling with the confines of their strict school. Along the way, they undergo an awakening both political and romantic.

MUBI's take

Diane Kurys’ assured, charming debut is full of nostalgic delight. Sharing the setting of 1960s France with the Annie Ernaux adaptation Happening, it is in many ways a lighter and more rosy look at the lives of little women—but one that still fizzes with the radical politics of the time.
