Diane Kury’s Peppermint Soda follows two sisters, Anne and Frédérique, growing up in 1960s Paris. Anne, a shy and curious thirteen-year-old, navigates the challenges of adolescence—school struggles, boy troubles, and family dynamics—while her older sister, Frédérique, begins her own exploration of love and politics.
