In the French countryside, an elegant woman pays a nostalgic visit to her adolescent girl’s school where she passionately remembers her first fiery and forbidden romance--the story of Therese and Isabelle. The tenderness of these two lonely girls' erotic awakenings sensually blossoms amidst the hothouse atmosphere of their repressive environment. (official distributor synopsis)
