Pomme, 19, is an apprentice hairdresser. She still has something childlike about her, is quiet and graceful, and very reserved. Marylène, a provocative blonde who is her colleague, decides to take Pomme under her wing. Abandoned by her lover, she drags the younger girl off to Cabourg with her for consolation, but once there she soon hooks up with a new boyfriend. Sitting in a pâtisserie to counter her loneliness, Pomme meets François, an extremely shy and intellectual student, who is determined to impress her. Their naivety, inexperience and shyness bring them together although everything else conspires to keep them apart. –Locarno Film Festival

In her meek regard and sacred solitude, I found the traces of the first girl I ever fell in love at first grade. Her name was Lara (a blonde) and she too had the same polite and shy uncertainty which is now understood as the epitome of innonce to me, something I fall by involuntarily. Isabelle Huppert transcends acting. Claude Goretta is Vermeer.
