Hervé and Camel, obsessed with girls, drag their 14 years of recess into the lingerie pages of mail-order magazines. How to make out? Riad Sattouf, with the help of his actors, invents THE teen, the one we all once were, as pitiful as he is touching.
We're all very serious at fourteen years old. Hervé and Camel, students at a Breton secondary school, have but one goal (which they believe to be hopeless): to go out with girls. When the beautiful Aurore takes an interest in Hervé, the upheaval is total. This is a rare authentic comedy about teenagers all over the world: ugly, awkward, moving. Vincent Lacoste's disillusioned eye and goofy smile make him the charming actor of a generation.
