Why are hundreds of thousands of children unhappy at school? A journalist sets out to find out, and through her extensive investigation, she shares the emotions of a mother struggling with her daughter Odile's academic failures. A story that starts badly but ends well.

What place do breasts occupy in the identity of women? Intersecting several voices--adolescent girls, mothers, lesbians, dancers, bodybuilders...--this film draws a mosaic portrait of the breast, from childhood to maturity, from seduction to illness, from motherhood to surgery, from the tyranny of the image to self-acceptance. An impressionist documentary, funny and touching, against the backdrop of the beach and holidays.
