Plot

They’re all nuts. Her parents, who want to send her off to boarding school. Her new teacher, who expects her to read impossibly old books. Her fellow band members, who make her sing ridiculous lyrics and dress her up in a frilly white dress for their first show. Everyone seems to know what she should do and how she should act. And it’s not like 13-year-old Aurore has any fundamental problem with changing herself either.

Sinekatalog’s take

A thirteen-year-old is pushed from every side to change, from school to band to parents. The film has a spiky, comic sensibility about adolescence and conformity. A pleasant choice for viewers who like coming-of-age stories with attitude.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
