Film Synopsis
Pamela is eighteen and, like most girls of her age, she is finding it hard
to make the transition from childhood to adulthood. She has failed
her end of school exams and is now under pressure from her immigrant parents
to sort herself out. It doesn't help that the girl feels isolated and
culturally divided, torn between her present home in France and her parents'
country of origin, Portugal.
Unsure of her own identity and lacking any clear direction in her life, Pamela
finds herself in a terrible quandary. Her only two passions in life
are piano playing and ice skating - but she can hardly hope to make a career
in these pursuits. This summer, she meets up with her childhood
friend Claudia and, through this encounter, she finally begins to emerge
from the haze of adolescent confusion and make some sense of her life...
