The story of 15-year-old Suzanne (Sandrine Bonnaire, in her first role), who
is in a hopeless situation--she inspires love but cannot feel it herself.
Since she is only happy when she is with a guy, she sleeps with everyone who
shows interest, except Luc (Cyr Boitard), the one boy who truly feels for her.
Her behavior causes problems at home, where things are bad enough already: her
father is moving out, giving free reign to her decidedly unappetizing brother,
and her mother is becoming increasingly neurotic. Hardly an uplifting story,
but Bonnaire turns Suzanne into a truly compelling figure. Pialat does a fine
job of telling the story from Suzan...
