Plot

François, a dentist, and his wife Françoise, an illustrator, move to Paris and place their daughter Vic, aged 13, in one of the capital's best schools. Making friends, her free time becomes a whirl of discos, cinemas, and parties.

François is contacted by Vanessa, a former lover, who insists he spends a final night with her and, when he tries to go home, rings Françoise to say he was taken to a hospital with a broken leg. After keeping up that pretense for a while, François comes clean with his wife, who kicks him out, smashes up Vanessa's shop, and starts an affair with Éric, one of Vic's teachers, who is then punched in the street by François.

Trying to make sense of her parents' behaviour, Vic is helped by her great-grandmother Poupette, who encourages her in her pursuit of Matthieu, the boy of her dreams.

Françoise discovers that she is pregnant and decides to reconcile with François. At Vic's 14th birthday party, she is in the arms of Matthieu when she suddenly sees another boy of her dreams.
