: The film used adult couples to demonstrate reproductive sex and penetration to maintain clear boundaries for the young audience, while minors were used only to show physical development related to puberty. Educational Context in Belgium (1991)

Menstruation in girls, wet dreams in boys, and general sexual hygiene. Emotional Aspects: Falling in love and kissing.

In 1991, Belgium was a nation navigating its own puberty: the fall of the Berlin Wall was fresh, the first Gulf War was televised live, and the country was intensifying its federalization into distinct communities (Flemish, French, and German-speaking). Against this backdrop, sexual education for boys and girls was neither standardized nor guaranteed. It was a patchwork of progressive Catholic guilt, emerging socialist pragmatism, and Flemish directness versus French romanticism.
