Suzanne is 16 and bored with people of her age. Every day on her way to high school, she passes a theater, where she meets an older man. Despite their age difference, they find in each other an answer to their ennui and fall in love. But Suzanne is afraid she’s missing out on the life enjoyed by her teenaged peers.
