Summer in the town of Thiers, 1976, is a time of growth and discovery for the children and their families. A new baby arrives, a single mother hopes to find love, and a young boy named Patrick begins to explore the opposite sex. He befriends Julien, a student from a poor background with a hidden secret, and Bruno shows off his charm with the girls. Meanwhile, Sylvie stages a clever protest against her parents, and the brothers give a friend a haircut. Amidst the joys and challenges, the community comes together for a trip to the cinema. At summer camp, Martine catches Patrick's eye, and a teacher shares words of wisdom: "Life may be tough, but it's also full of wonder."
