Story
Three girls, each about 15 years old, face loving and sexual problems of adolescence . Marie ( Pauline Accar ), a thin, shy girl, quiet and almost speechless, is friends with Anna ( Louise Blasher ). Chubby Anna was impulsive, and she decided that her first love would be Francois. In synchronized swimming competitions, the attention of Marie is suddenly attracted by the captain of one of the groups - Floriana ( Adele Anel ), beautiful, tall and arrogant. Marie begins to search for acquaintances with Floriana, and soon they have a strange friendship. Marie needed Floriana as a cover for meetings with Francois ( Warren Jacques ), who seeks her reciprocity. But Floriana is a virgin and is afraid that Francois will leave her if he finds out about it. She persuades Marie to deprive her of virginity. Sweetheart Marie agrees. And Anna, meanwhile, was offended that Marie spends little time with her. In addition, Anna succeeds in seducing Francois. The film ends, leaving all relationships in a state of uncertainty.
