Synopsis 17-year-old Charlotte is reeling from a breakup with her boyfriend, who confessed to her he is gay right after she lost her virginity to him. One day, Charlotte and her friends Mégane and Aube wander into the big-box toy store Jouets Dépôt, and after discovering that several attractive guys work there, the girls apply for part-time jobs. On her first day at work, Charlotte is paired with the amiable Guillaume. On another day, she is tasked with shadowing the flirtatious Francis. To get over her ex, Charlotte reciprocates Francis's advances and sleeps with him. She subsequently engages in dalliances with other male co-workers, with the exception of Guillaume. Unbeknownst to Charlotte, the guys share their stories about hooking up with her, which gives her a reputation as a "slut." At a Halloween party, Charlotte and Guillaume grow closer, but just as they are about to kiss, Francis walks in on them and makes a casual comment to Charlotte congratulating her on reaching "a perfect score", meaning she has nearly hooked up with all of the guys at the store. A humiliated Charlotte suspects Guillaume of trying to sleep with her just so he can join the other guys. Guillaume insists this was not his intention and that he truly likes her, but Charlotte leaves and gives him the cold shoulder at work.
