An adolescent girl discovers her first amorous emotions. Parts of her days take place in a stairwell. It is there that she says goodbye to her boyfriend before returning home; it is also there that she meets her girlfriend. It is there that the strong emotions of her young existence are played out. Filmed in a superb setting with faultless acting, the film slips into the life of a young girl, providing us with touches of sensitivity, strength and justice.
