content
Paris : Vic Beretton is now 15 years old. While her friend Pénélope goes with a different boy every week and is already taking the pill , Vic is still a virgin . On the way back from a host family in the province of Salzburg , she meets Philippe on the train and accidentally swaps his passport for hers. She later visits him to return his passport. The two become friends and go out together. But Vic is not sure whether Philippe is the right person for the "first time", especially since she regards Philippe's relationship with his ex-girlfriend Cathérine with suspicion. Meanwhile, after she was abandoned by Thibaut (with whom she slept), Pénélope starts up with the nephew of the brother-in-law of her mother's new friend, but later switches to Didier and finally to Philippe's friend Frédo. Her sister Samantha is now neglecting school and concentrating entirely on her training as a ballet dancer.
Meanwhile, Vic's parents continue their mended marriage a little more calmly. Both still mistrust each other, however, and the fact that the father, now a doctor of dentistry , wants to do research in Lyon , casts a shadow on the relationship. It is also not easy for the two of them to accept Vic's growing up, which is mainly noticeable by the fact that she stays away overnight.
Great-grandmother Poupette, on the other hand, torments herself throughout the whole plot with the question of whether or not she should marry her old lover Jean-Louis, whose wife has died after forty years of secret friendship. Of course, she is back to Vic with words and deeds. Her fast-paced driving style is also still the same. The smoldering relationship between Vic and Philippe is now in crisis. After Vic shrinks from spending the night with him, Philippe suspects her relationship with ex-boyfriend Mathieu. When Vic at Mathieu's party out of joke, together with Samantha on the nocturnal street, plays a puffed-up whore with a feather boa to piss off the drivers, Philippe feels betrayed. Vic reacts to his jealousy by arranging to meet the student Félix for dinner with his friends. However, she is bored with the learned talk and returns home early.
Poupette decides to marry, but “kidnaps” her husband on an adventurous honeymoon instead of celebrating the event with the family. Vic's father persuades Pénélopes sister Samantha, his former admirer, to go to an audition despite her disappointment that her father won't watch her. She passed the test with flying colors. Then he says goodbye to his wife and daughter to go to Lyons; however, he wants to return to Paris regularly.
Meanwhile, Vic finally decides in favor of Philippe, after she has received his apartment key as a sign of confidence, and comes just in time to intercept him at the train station, from where he wants to go to his mother in Stuttgart . The film ends in a stormy embrace.
Premiere, success, awards

Reviews
“The film unobtrusively pleads for the self-fulfillment of all family members. The sensitive staging pleases with intellectual honesty. "
“Unlike comparable comedies such as B. popsicles laid Director Pinoteau even two years after the first major party value on an amusing but realistic representation of teenage problems. The well-rehearsed team also makes the sequel worth seeing, above all Sophie Marceau, who in 1983 received the César as Best Young Actress for her portrayal of Vic. "
