Adèle leads her secondary school life the way her adolescent state dictates. After a French lit course about love in Marivaux’s novels, a discussion about sex breaks out in the cafeteria. Obsessed by who will sleep with her, Adèle and her friends try out new emotions and gossip about them like everything else. Tired of pretending with her new boyfriend, Adèle goes in search of a mysterious young woman with blue highlights whom she saw by chance on the street. She finds her in a gay bar. Emma, a fine arts student, is a bit older and, especially, more sure of her own sexuality. Her initiation into lesbianism turns Adèle’s life upside down, as she is confronted with her own fears as well as the looks of those around them...
