Djamila would like to be on the pill because her relationship with her boyfriend has become serious; Zoé’s mother gives her condoms but calls her daughter a whore; Nejma hides her pills away from home because her mother searches her bag; Hélène complains about being too fertile; Adeline wished she could have kept it, and so does Margot. Maria Angela would like to know whom she is pregnant from, while Ana Maria has opted for love and freedom.
Anne, Denise, Marta, Yasmine, and Milena are the advisers. They listen to each of them as they wonder how to cope with sexual freedom. In God's offices, you laugh, cry, and feel swamped.
