A gentle coming-of-age comedy about a shy pre-teen learning self-acceptance and first love at a nudist camp, balancing awkwardness with warmth and humor.

Léo is dragged to a nudist camping resort by his mother. Like most boys at the age of 12 or 13, being nude in public holds little appeal for Léo, who protests by wearing extra layers. Until he meets a certain special girl, who captures his heart and releases his inhibitions.
