Newport Beach Film Festival 2008

Maeve is 13 going on 14, striding, lurching, sometimes stumbling on the road from girlhood to womanhood. Today she’s going to put on her brand new bra for the very first time. Maeve and her best pals Ruth, Claire, and Orla realize that it’s a lot harder than they thought to become a woman. There’s the matter of breasts, for example, which troubles and fascinates Maeve. And, of course, there are boys. When Maeve snares the local sixteen-year-old heartthrob she is so smitten that she lets her friends down just when they need her most. Becoming an adult doesn’t seem like such a great idea anymore. Aware that her first steps toward womanhood were misguided, Maeve returns to the fold a little wise as her friends rally around for her 14th birthday.
