In a warm summer in France, three teenagers, Marie, Anne, and Floriane, embark on a journey of self-discovery as they navigate the turbulent emotions and complications of adolescence. Set against the backdrop of a public swimming pool, the girls form a fluctuating friendship that reflects both the intensity of their relationship and the insecurities typical of their age.

Marie, who is introspective and sensitive, observes how Anne, more self-assured, flirts with the neighborhood boys, while Floriane, energetic and provocative, struggles with her own identity and feelings of abandonment. The group's dynamic becomes complicated when an unexpected attraction arises between the girls and a young swimmer, leading to jealousy and scribbles of rivalry in their relationship. Through encounters filled with laughter, tears, and moments of vulnerability, the young women challenge conventions and explore their own sexuality.

With the pool as a focal point, this emotional journey becomes a kind of refuge and prison, where the girls confront their deepest fears and desires. The film captures the transition from childhood to adulthood, addressing themes such as friendship, love, and sexual confusion. As summer comes to an end, the girls must confront what it means to grow up and the inevitability that everything changes over time. A heartfelt and captivating tale that resonates with anyone who has navigated the turbulent waters of adolescence.
