The story, released the first time in 1929, tells the story of a girl, Edda Marty, who enters (the only woman) to be part of a class of boys, to attend the last year of high school, 8th gymnasium in Trieste. Edda is a wild child, free and non-conformist, in contrast to his provincial family environment and a bit `narrow-minded. Despite his efforts to establish a friendly relationship with her companions, its presence provokes disturbances, falling in love, a suicide attempt. Male protagonist is George Antero, with whom Edda will live a tender story of teenage love. The intervention of the possessive and selfish mother of Antero, that will ask to Edda to not accept the boy`s love, and subsequent misunderstandings between the two lovers (also a result of the attempted suicide of another comrade, always for love Edda), will put an end to the history between the two protagonists.
