At 17, Johanne falls head over heels in love with her fema­le tea­cher. In an attempt to cap­tu­re this first crush, she pours her expe­ri­en­ces onto paper with raw hones­ty. When her mother and grand­mo­ther dis­co­ver her wri­tin­gs, their initi­al shock at the inti­ma­te descrip­ti­ons gives way to admi­ra­ti­on for their lite­ra­ry merit. The two older women begin to reflect on their own love lives, their plea­su­res and missed oppor­tu­ni­ties, and are remin­ded of the over­whel­ming sen­sa­ti­on of first love; and of the lon­ging for some­thing more. Johanne’s grand­mo­ther, an estab­lished poet hers­elf, feels both pri­de and unea­se at her granddaughter’s natu­ral talent. But ques­ti­ons lin­ger: What tru­ly hap­pen­ed bet­ween Johanne and her tea­cher? Where does rea­li­ty end and fic­tion begin? And should the­se deep­ly per­so­nal wri­tin­gs ever find their way to publication?
