Set in 1962, this acclaimed drama chronicles the emotional and sexual awakenings of four French teenagers whose passage into adulthood is complicated by conflicting desires, political turmoil, and an uncertain future. Set in the dazzling and sun-drenched countryside of southwestern France, the film follows the four teenagers as they face the struggles and responsibilities of adulthood. Francois confronts his homosexuality after a brief encounter reinforces a teenage crush on classmate Serge. Serge, the son of local peasant farmers, is confounded when his older brother (who at the outset of the film had attempted to desert) is killed in the war, and he must capitulate to familial responsibilities. Maďté, the daughter of the school's politically active communist teacher, Mrs. Alvarez, struggles in her friendship with Francois, her attraction to Algerian-born ultraconservative Henri, and her mother's nervous breakdown. Henri, whose father was killed in the war and whose mother lives in hiding in Marseilles, nearly flunks out of school, clinging to the short-wave radio that brings news from Algeria. The four converge as they await their final grades, and the conflicting powers of class, sexuality, and love are played out as unlikely friendships are forged and childhood innocence is replaced by encroaching adulthood.

A vivid and interesting film that shows how politics can influence individuals and their relationships. People form opinions, which is good, but sometimes these opinions can lead them apart or completely confuse them. And this happens just because they have slightly different ways of thinking, not because they are bad people. This is a very interesting insight into human nature and how it is shaped.
