This loosely plotted coming-of-age tale follows the life of 15-year-old Laurent Chevalier as he stumbles his way over the burgeoning swell of adolescence in 1950s France. After having his first sexual experience with a prostitute and dodging the lips of a priest, Chevalier contracts a case of scarlet fever. When the fever leaves him with a heart murmur, Chevalier is placed in a sanatorium, along with his over-attentive and adulterous mother.
Sun-drenched 1950s France provides a hazy, nostalgic backdrop for a boy navigating the awkward friction of puberty and family secrets. This gentle episodic journey captures the strange, bittersweet comedy found in the messy transitions of youth.
