Based on a headline-grabbing incident in the U.S., sister directing duo Delphine and Muriel Coulin's provocative debut feature (which they also co-wrote) follows the fallout in a sleepy French coastal town of Brittany, when a group of seventeen teenage girls from the same high school all decide to become pregnant at the same time, an act at once unexpected and incomprehensible to the adults and the boys in their world.

What makes this film worth watching?
"...captures a moment when irrationality and romantic self-delusion go viral—and the difficulty of containing such elements." - Mick LaSalle, SF Chronicle

The opening scene is a fascinating take off point. Le jeune fille...belle de jour.

sweet wonderful totally crazy beautiful film
Very good effort, nicely shot and non-sentimental script. Makes me curious to see how the directors evolved and what they will be bringing to Cannes this year.
Lost interest 10 minutes into the film. I could not relate to these girls.
