First love always hurts.

Malou is a 15-year-old tomboy – a boyish-looking girl whose greatest passion in life is the traditionally masculine sport of rowing, despite being constantly bullied by her teammates. Luckily, she has a supporting family, and even though her mom has recently been absent from home, she can always rely on her older brother Max – who also happens to be her best friend. Things take an unexpected turn when, much to her own despair, Malou realizes that she has fallen in love for the first time… with her brother's new girlfriend, Nouria. Trapped in a whirlwind of emotions and testing the boundaries of intimacy, she must decide: give in to her heart’s desires and risk destroying the relationship with her brother, or stay silent, suffering on the sidelines.
