Story
A sensitive coming-of-age film from Quebec about first love and the desire to break out of society’s conformity of feelings. Three young people discover love. 16-year old Guillaume attends a private boy’s boarding school and is secretly in love with his best friend. His half-sister Charlotte is suddenly confronted by her boyfriend’s wish to lead an open relationship. And during a wonderful summer camp Félix falls for Beatrice. At a time when their environment is displaying more and more signs of conforming, the three fight for the right to love and be free.
