17 teenage girls take together an unexpected decision that will change their peaceful little lives and leave them misunderstood by the boys and adults around them: they decide to get pregnant all at the same time. This is based on a true story that occurred in 2008.

Ripped from US tabloid headlines and transposed to the Brittany coast, this high-concept drama from the Coulin sisters extracts uneasy laughs from the hysteria of its moral panic. Naturalistic and deftly performed, 17 Girls sensitively charts the gulf between adult authority and emergent womanhood.
