action

Laetitia is about to take her professional examination as a hairdresser. One evening, she picks up her friend Yeliz, who works in a fast food restaurant, and they both go to a backyard party. On the way they get snacks and imagine what their hairdressing salon would look like. At some point at the party, the group begins, Would you rather play. Young Vicente in particular flirts with Laetitia, they both kiss and other boys film them. Laetitia later disappears with Vicente.

The next day, Laetitia's classmates respond with giggles at the young woman. Since Laetitia doesn't know why they are being laughed at, there is a fist fight in the dining room. She and her classmate Aurore are asked to see the school principal, where Aurore reports that there is a video circulating online showing Laetitia and Vicente having oral sex . Laetitia is horrified and deeply ashamed to find the video online. When she confronts the boy who was filming, he downplays the situation and refuses to delete the video. In front of Vicente, who is also critical of the action, he explains that Laetitia is just a chick (original: “une meuf”) and that all chicks are the same.

Laetitia goes to Yeliz, who comforts her. Since she doesn't want to go home out of sheer shame, she stays at Yeliz's. Laetitia confesses to Yeliz that she won't go to the hairdresser's exam the next day because she'll be considered a slut for years now. Yeliz is appalled that the video was forgotten after two days; Laetitia has the chance of a good degree and a solid job. Yeliz bursts into tears as Laetitia also questions the mutual plans. Yeliz's reaction makes Laetitia rethink; she promises Yeliz to open a hair salon with her. Later both of them can laugh at Laetitia's little breakdown. The next day, Yeliz drives her friend to the exam and she confidently goes to school.
