Why 13

The official rating, firstRated PG-13 in the US (parents strongly cautioned, some material may be inappropriate for children under 13). zinema never goes below the country's rating: it explains it.
rule
A high-school romance that talks about sexTwo teenagers growing close over homework, parties with alcohol, conversations about sex and the first time; nothing is shown, everything is in the words, and a young child hears them without understanding.
The restParty cigarettes, hallway insults, a death recounted in a family; the guns seen belong to a film the characters watch.

What the movie brings

The brilliant one and the popular one, and what each teaches the other: high-school roles turned around.
A love story that asks about plans for the future before it asks about the kiss.
A short, light film, for a teenagers' evening.

Watching it together

Before

Nothing to prepare for a teenager; below that, know that sex and parties are talked about without being shown.
