The late sixties. A well-behaved high school girl with acting ambitions is courted by an academic misfit from a lower social class than her. If their relationship seems improbable even while they live in the same city, will it survive after high school is over and they have physical distance between them?
I suppose many people have known or heard about couples like the one in this film. Probably not exactly identical, but sharing some aspects with them. Anyway, this kind of story is always interesting. The "firstness" factor is crucial, and the filmmaker himself says as much. The film relies on this appeal, and handles the development in a correct way. Among the curious incidents, a teacher proposes a "puzzle" about Ulysses S. Grant to his class.
