    Juliette, twelve years-old, a shy and unhappy tomboy, is fascinated by her French teacher, Mrs. Solenska. Mrs. Solenska is a perfect model of ideal femininity to her students with her liberal attitude for sex and stylish dresses and shows great humor and imagination. Juliette can’t help but having a crush on her and regarding herself as Mrs. Solenska’s favorite student. She blindly falls in love with her, but she is also exhausted by the crazy love.
