SYNOPSIS

Béatrice is 16 and has Down's syndrome. She is nervous as this is her first day of professional training. There, she discovers repetitive tasks, the inquisitive glances of the boys and the trial of her first lunch at the canteen. Soon enough, her teenage desire for emancipation clashes with the difficulty of leaving the cosy nest of childhood.
