Enid and Rebecca are school friends. The idea of leaving school after their final examinations fills them with euphoria: they will finally be able to stand on their own two feet and find themselves a flat where no-one will tell them what to do. Enid doesn’t pass her exams, however, and enrols in a summer course in order to get a diploma. By chance she makes the acquaintance of a loner, much older Seymour who impresses her with his knowledge of jazz music. Their friendship turns into something more but Enid soon begins to panic. In the meantime Rebecca has found a flat and her one desire is to make it as cosy as possible. Enid realises that this kind of life isn’t for her and she sets off on her own course. The idea for the film was taken from the cult comic-strip story by artist Daniel Glowes, set in a world satirised by a girl who feels like a foreigner in her own environment.
