Sweetie?

Jeanne...

Wake up. Go to your bed, OK?

Come on...

Go to your room.

Laure?

Come on, up,

you've got to get dressed.

No, you're wearing this.

- Oh, no, I dont want to.

- No arguing, put it on.

Here you go.

Come on, we're going.

Where to?

- That boy you hit? His place.

- No.

- Yes.

- I'm not coming.

Stop that. Enough!

I dont want to go!

No!

I've had it now.

You're coming!

- Let go!

- Enough!

Jeanne, stop that. Leave your sister alone.

You let go of that arm.

Come here now!

Shut the door, Jeanne.

Shut the door!

Good morning.

We've come to apologise, again.

There's no need to.

It's kind of complicated, actually.

- We're not heading back home?

- No.

- Where are we going to?

- To your friend Lisa's place.

- No!

- What is your plan, then?

Are you going to pretend

to be a boy all year?

School starts in two weeks' time.

We have no choice. We need to tell.

Listen.

I'm not doing this to hurt you,

or to teach you a lesson.

I have to, understand?

I don't mind you playing "the boy".

It doesn't even make me sad.

But this can't go on.

Got an idea? Cos if you do,

please say so, I can't think of any.

Have you got a solution?

Good morning.

Excuse me, is Lisa home?

She'll be home any minute now.

Would you mind if we wait for her?

What's going on?

Nothing serious.

I'll explain to you but...

Come in.

Lisa?

- Yes?

- Come here.

This is Mickel's mum.

She's come here to say Mickel

is not actually Mickel but a girl,

not a boy.

She's waiting for you in the kitchen.

Hey! You know what?

Mickel is a girl!

She came to my house

and was wearing a dress.

Are you joking or what?

He's over there. Let's go!

We've heard you're a girl.

We're gonna check that.

Stop it!

What do you think you're doing?

We're gonna check

if she's really a girl.

Leave him alone.

You're right. It's you who'll check.

No.

If she's a girl, then you kissed her.

It's disgusting.

Right?

Yes, it's disgusting.

Then you're gonna do it.

Laure, don't you want to

go and play outside?

I'd rather stay here.

Tomorrow you go back to school.

That's all right.

He's waking up.

Oh my, oh my...

Not easy waking up, huh?

Oh my...

Easy...

What's your name?

My name is Laure.
