Teen stories - 2002-2008

Twelve-year-old Virgine, Xavier, Aurélie, Thys, Mélanie, Jordann and Rachel approach adolescence full of dreams but also with anxiety. They feel that they are changing and that it is time to assert themselves, especially as regards their parents. This is the time of the first family conflicts and the search for independence. They deliver their secrets with great sincerity, describe their problems and let us inside their world, showing us how difficult it is to leave the innocence of childhood behind and to discover the turmoil of adolescence. Laughter, tears, anger, doubts and revolt characterize the first episode.
