Duration: 88'
Emilie, Stella, Inès, and Marion come from different social classes. They have formed a "little gang". The way their lives go along is marked by funny or tragic episodes. Emilie's mother leaves. Stella's dog dies. Someone steals the skeleton of a fetus from a high school laboratory. As time passes, the four friends take up more serious affairs. Each of them chooses a "love" - an ideal, inaccessible fiancee chosen from among the "big kids" -, that is, the boys from the upper grades. As they grow up together, Emilie, Stella, Inès, and Marion feel more and more inseparable.
"On the set you should be as close as possible to the actors and the crew and should not necessarily stop at the point where you think you were before you started. Everything that you have in your head when you begin to think about and write a film remains during the shooting... But it remains without your knowing exactly how it does" (N. Lvovsky).
