Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Timid, discreet, and humble, the guileless nineteen-year-old assistant hairdresser, Pomme, lives with her doting mother and works in a Parisian beauty salon. When Pomme's only friend and polar opposite--the experienced, sensuous and independent beautician, Marylène--decides to take her along on a vacation at the heart of Normandy, in the chic seaside resort of Cabourg, the virginal woman has a chance encounter with the cultivated literature student, Francois. Head-over-heels in love with each other, the young and inexperienced couple returns to Paris with big dreams; however, life is as exciting as it is complicated. Now, one of the ardent lovers has a change of heart. Is Francois and Pomme's cold separation inevitable? Written by Nick Riganas |

| Quotes |
Marianne:
You treated Béatrice as if you were a boss. When you got tired you threw her away. François Béligné: Why do you stick your nose into this? It's got nothing to do with that! Marianne: Yes, yes it's the same thing. If there is something you don't understand, you reject it. François Béligné: That's nonsense. Marianne: You live in your small world in your coat and your scarf. And yet you fear catching a cold. Gérard: You did bad, François. It's true you don't see the things that surround you. See more » |
