- Summary
- Dublin in 1979. This is where 13-year-old Maeve lives. She has just got her first,
snow-white-coloured bra. Cup sizes and bras are a big topic at the moment. Her
friends Ruth and Orla both wear one but Claire, being a staunch feminist, naturally
does not. Maeve’s girlfriends have all had a boyfriend and this is something that preoccupies her just as much. This is why she needs somebody with whom she can learn how to kiss. To everyone’s surprise Maeve manages to land a date with Brian, the local heartthrob. She is even prepared to leave her girlfriends in the lurch in order to be with him. The problems she now has with Ruth, Orla and Claire, are compounded
by disappointment with her new boyfriend, who deserts her after their first dance
and goes off with another girl. Things don’t get any easier when her parents find out
either. To cap it all, her new bra doesn’t even survive the first wash. - Nominiert für den Bernhard Wicki Preis. IRL/D 2007. Buch,Regie/Scr.,Dir.: Marian Quinn. Camera: PJ Dillon. Music: Gerry Leonard.
