Intimate portrait of three 15-year old girls set in the competitive world of synchronized swimming. This purely female world has its own rules and holds no space for males. Marie has fallen in love and stalks beautiful Floriane, flirting with water polo players. Her lonesome friend Anne can't put up with it. Floriane becomes Marie´s friend. Under the pressure of gossiping, uncertainty of their feelings and worries about getting revealed, there is a story of friendship, awaking sexuality and first love. The film stops at the point where many other lesbian love stories start.
