Film Description:
"Fourteen-year old Juliette lives in the country with her father and her older brother. When Juliette was younger, her mother left the family to pursue her career in New York; from that moment, Juliette started to gain weight. Today, she's not obese, but she's clearly the heaviest girl at her high school. But that doesn't stop her from being vivacious, funny and unrepentantly rebellious. Juliette has big dreams: she wants to throw the best parties, move to New York to live with her mother, and date the most gorgeous guy in her school, an older boy who is about to graduate. In short, she wants everything she can't have—which sometimes makes her forget to appreciate those who really love her. We follow this brazen and endearing girl during her hectic last few weeks before summer vacation, and watch as she does some growing up—but not too much."

Film Description [in French] :
"Les dernières semaines d'école mouvementées de Juliette, secondaire deux, avant les grandes vacances d'été. Jeune fille effrontée, menteuse, drôle, rondelette et attachante, Juliette fera d'importants apprentissages sur les garçons, l'amour et l'amitié. Elle en sortira grandie (enfin, au moins un peu!). Pour son quatrième long métrage, Anne Émond nous raconte l'histoire toute simple d'une jeune fille qui sort de l'enfance pour débuter le long chemin de la découverte et de l'acceptation de sa personnalité, de son image et de ses convictions. La fin de l'enfance, c'est un peu cesser de croire à l'impossible."
