How does life measure up for a 13-year old girl?
Dublin 1979. The Northside. Maeve
Brennan gets up and puts on her first bra. The summer holidays
beckon for Maeve and her trio of friends, Ruth, Orla and
Claire. But they still have to suffer the indignities of
the vigilant Sister Una as she patrols the school for latecomers.
At home, the put-upon Maeve washes her bra and fears it’s
already lost its luster…uUntil an encounter with Brian
Power, the local heart-throb, sets her on a collision course
with her friends. Ruth needs her support when her estranged
father wants to meet her, but Maeve is torn when Brian asks
her to the Grove, the local club. It’s Clery’s
clock vs. the Grove… Is Maeve woman enough to make
the right choice?
