At fifteen, Julie and her best friend Audrey have grand summer plans that include losing their virginity. Julie feels awkward about sleeping with her male classmate, and as she hesitates, her best friend takes the lead. Little do they know, losing one's virginity is easy, but navigating emotions proves to be a bumpy road, full of complications. Unlike *American Pie*, there are no silly antics or contrived chaos, nor any behind-the-scenes manipulations for cheap thrills. The semi-mature teens in France are open-minded and utterly true to themselves: speaking and acting their age at fifteen. A declaration of youth, this story resonates with truths that we all want—or need—to understand. Directed by Céline Sciamma, daughter of renowned director Jacques Doillon (*The Little Thief*), she proves that great direction runs in the family, capturing the essence of teenage life through her lens.
