Der 14-jährige Hervé weiß nicht wohin mit sich. Auch wenn
durchschnittlich intelligent und klein gebaut, hat er natürlich
nur Mädchen im Kopf. Er weiß nicht so recht wie ihm
geschieht, als ausgerechnet er eines Tages von Aurore, dem
schönsten Mädchen der Klasse, auserwählt wird. Eine wunderbare
Teenie-Komödie.

___________________

Hervé ha 14 anni e come tutti i ragazzi della sua età è in perenne lotta con le pulsioni adolescenziali. Vive con la madre, al liceo se la cava, anche se non è un genio e neanche particolarmente bello. Il suo pensiero fisso è riuscire ad uscire con una ragazza: nonostante i continui rifiuti, non si dà mai per vinto. Fino al giorno in cui, senza capirne bene il perché, Aurore, una delle ragazza più carine della classe, dimostra di avere una cotta proprio per lui. Confuso e stranito, Hervé cerca di crescere in questo piccolo mondo in continuo movimento, la fase dell'adolescenza in cui le emozioni devono essere dominate.

_____________________

14-year-old Hervé is an average teenager who lives alone with his mother and struggles to cope with his urges, unprepossessing physique and mediocre intellect. He just gets by at school, surrounded as he is by his best buddies. Going out with girls is his major preoccupation. Sadly, in this field, he keeps striking out. But he never says die. One day, without really knowing how, he finds himself in the good books of Aurore, one of the prettiest girls in class. Surrounded by a gallery of saucy, wild characters, Hervé tries to grow up in this little world in perpetual movement, this world of adolescence in which emotions must be dominated.
