While on book tour for her memoir in 2020, Annie Ernaux (Valerie Dreville) returns to her hometown of Rouen for a book signing. A sudden dizziness overcomes her when she arrives, plunging her thoughts back to the summer of 1958 when as a naïve young camp counselor, she first experienced the cruelty of other girls and the bitterness of sexual initiation. Journeying into a past she had once tried to forget, Annie reflects on the young girl she once was and the summer that changed her forever. Judith Godrèche, a major figure in the French Me Too Movement, directs her own daughter, Tess Barthélemy, in a heartbreaking, dazzling performance as young Annie.
