It’s back-to-school season. At thirteen, Ben begins to notice the effects of puberty on his classmates, who have all changed a lot. Especially Claire, who has become very pretty. Ben wishes she would notice him, but he’s self-conscious about his weight, and even the school nurse is worried. Despite his passion for cooking, Ben decides to take on a long and difficult diet. To cope with the teasing from Max and his gang, Ben can count on the support of his quirky family and his friends Claire, Éric, and Sonia. Together, they form a band for the Christmas show, at the end of a year that will have helped them all grow, gain confidence in themselves, in life, and in love.
