One of her protégés is found beaten up just outside her door, and an emergency physician comes by to treat her.

The whole household revolves around the Annie (Annie Girardot), the mother, but no one helps her do anything. Without her support, her husband could not spend so much time being preoccupied with his job at a company which makes everything from sunglasses to kitchen appliances (not very good ones, as it happens). Nor could her teenaged children manage both their schoolwork and their adolescent moods. One day, she explodes. She sits herself down and writes the sexy novel she has been mulling over in her head for some time. It gets published and becomes a best-seller. This, on top of her rebellion, threatens to end her marriage. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

This gentle, closely observed autobiographical tale, a first film by director Diane Kurys, got a very favorable critical reception at the time of its release. It concerns the experiences of Anne (Eleonore Klarwein) and Frederique (Odile Michel), the 13- and 15-year-old daughters of a separated Jewish couple. They are attending a grim, rule-crazy school in the early 1960s. Anne is unsocial and not much of an "achiever"; she tries to find out what is going on around her by eavesdropping on her mother and her older sister. Frederique is much more outgoing, has a crush on someone much older than herself, and is beginning to feel the first pangs of love. They are both awkward around their father, whom they visit on school holidays. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
