Thirteen-year-old Vic (Sophie Marceau) is new at her high school. She makes friends with Pénélope (Sheila O'Connor) and together they check out the boys at their school, looking for true love. Vic is frustrated by her parents, who will not allow her to attend the "boum", a big party. Her grandmother, Poupette, helps her out, and Vic ends up falling in love with Matthieu (Alexandre Sterling). While Vic is busy finding her true love, her parent's marriage faces a crisis when her father's ex-girlfriend demands a last night together.[1]
This was Sophie Marceau's first movie. She and her co-star Claude Brasseur (who plays her father) were re-united in the 1986 crime thriller Descente aux enfers playing the parts of husband and wife.
