Description: A re-enactment of a diary kept by the filmmaker during her thirteenth year becomes an insightful commentary on the bittersweet years of adolescence. The cheerful entries reflect her everyday life: a proper girls' school, a vacation on Cape Cod, sports, exams. The real impact comes from the film's ability to read between the lines and reveal her unexpressed loneliness and self doubt. When the filmmaker interviews today's schoolgirls, she learns that this generation experiences much the same awkwardness and confusion.
