action
11-year-old Julien, the child of a wealthy French family, is spending a language course with other students on the English coast in Herne Bay in Kent . The boys are less interested in learning, however, but spend their time in amusement arcades where they get to know English girls. Julien also has a friendship with Janet, with whom he takes walks on a pier and goes to the movies. However, he soon discovers that she is in love not with him but with an older French boy, Jean-Pierre.
Instead of being jealous, Julien joins the couple and becomes Jean-Pierre's boyfriend - so much so that they soon move around the beach without Janet. After a few days, Julien persuades his boyfriend to swap his blue jeans for his Mickey Mouse socks. The special feature of these jeans is a sticker with a pin-up . In addition, Jean-Pierre gives the younger a pin in the shape of a guitar that was given to him by Janet himself.
Now the classmates step in: They suspect Julien of being gay, which annoys him. He also notes that the friendship with Jean-Pierre is quite one-sided, because the next date he breaks up. When he happened to see him again, he was lying on the grass with Janet. Jean-Piere ironically asks him if he is gay and if he wants to kiss him. Julien gets angry, slaps him and runs away. From then on, they no longer meet.
In his need, Julien confides in his language teacher, M. Lavigier, who takes advantage of the situation.
When Julien returns home, he is depressed because his offer of friendship has been abused again and again. And so, at the end of the day, he also gave his mother the guitar pin that he had received from Jean-Pierre for his birthday.
