N1  - Sylvie is a rebellious and impetuous schoolgirl of seventeen. Three months before she is due to take her Baccalaureate the convent of Sainte-Thérèse expels her -- because she has fallen passionately in love with her teacher, the nun Julienne. So Sylvie retreats to the demi-monde of Paris in the 1950s: a world of bars, jazz and bohemianism. But she refuses to forget Julienne, bombarding her with letters, forcing her to confront a love which has for Sylvie the revelatory force of a religious experience. Sometimes she is in ecstasy, often in the depths of despair, always she is fervent, obsessed - until, driven by Julienne's ambivalence and the unyelding bourgeois world, she commits the rashest act of all
