Two girls arrive at an empty meeting hall. The one girl climbs up one of the ropes hanging down from the roof. As she slides down towards the floor, the rope is transformed into a small, maybe unintentional, sexual experience.
Rehearsal offers an opportunity to change negative and distorted views on sexual experiences in childhood and adolescence and to reconsider it in a positive and healthy way. Moreover, delicately describing two girls sharing mixed feelings about physical changes, this film suggests a view in the current society where physical pleasures are over-represented that a sexual experience is a natural and exciting transition.
