Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In the fall of 1963, Anne is becoming a teenager. She lives in Paris with her mother and her older sister, Frédérique. They're just back from summer at the beach with their father. School starts. For Frédérique it's the year of her first serious love, her first foray into politics (the Algerian question and "ban the bomb"), her first kiss from an older man, her first friend who runs away, and her first loss of friendship over values. For Anne, who watches her sister closely, it's a year of her first period and of learning to talk to boys, dealing with unfair teachers, and sorting things out with mom after getting in trouble.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Despite having no prior experience and getting cast at the last moment, filming this movie was fine for Eléonore Klarwein, who was only 13. She nevertheless had issues with three scenes: "First, the one where I have my period, because I don't have it in reality and because it touches on the intimate. Then, the one where I take a bath with my sister who puts her toes in my mouth. Disgusting. On top of that, I'm topless in the bathtub and it's embarrassing. Finally, the one where my sister makes me fall from a sofa: there, I hurt myself" she recalled. See more » |
| Goofs | The film is set during the 1963-64 school year however a couple of elements are thus anachronistic: First, in early 1964 the history teacher mentions the Charonne subway massacre as having happened the previous year in February when it happened in February 1962 (although this could be seen as the character making the mistake of not taking the New Year into account). Second, an announcement that the price postal stamps is going up from 25 to 30 centimes can be heard on the radio, but this price hike did not occur until 1965. See more » |
