In this provocative drama, adolescent girl Victorine (Anouk Grinber) struggles with her approaching teenage years while living in a lower-class neighborhood of Marseilles. Her overbearing mother (Myriam Boyer) and her alcoholic father propel her into an almost constant dream world, until she befriends a mysterious woman and later encounters her first love, Petit Paul (Olivier Martinez), with whom she has a brief affair.
