Who Cares About Being Normal?
The ceiling is probably the last thing most people see,

Ceilings will never seem the same,
Floriane replies. Naissance des pieuvres tells the story of three French girls and the challenges that adolescence just tends to bring with it. It's about love, friendship, sex - and synchronized swimming. Marie's in love with Floriane, Floriane's desperate to lose her virginity before she sleeps with François, and Anne, in turn, falls for François after he sees her naked in the changing room of the local indoor pool. Sometimes the small fates are the most interesting ones - like these, in a Parisian suburb shortly after the turn of the millennium.
