As this French series opens a large group of teenagers are partying in and around a river. One of them is Léa; she walks away from the group and is about to take a large quantity of pills... she stops when she sees a skeleton partially buried in the sand; on its wrist is a silver bracelet. She goes to bed and when she wakes up she isn't herself... she isn't even a she! She has woken in 1991 in the body of Ismael, the boy whose body she found. It turns out he was a friend of her parents. When she/he goes to sleep again she wakes back in the present. This pattern repeats over the next six days with her alternating between a day in 1991, in a different body each time, and a day in the present. Over the week she learns more about Ismael and her parents' past. She determines to try to find a way to prevent his death.
I really enjoyed this series. It brought something new to the time travel genre along with providing an interesting mystery. Having Léa wake in a different body each time provided a means for her to learn more about the individuals as well as providing some amusing moments... especially when she wakes as a boy. There is a fair amount of sex but this isn't too gratuitous; it is understandable that she is curious about what it is like to be in a male body. The question of what happened to Ismael is intriguing; did he kill himself or was he murdered... if the latter was the case there are plenty of suspects. The locations used are impressively scenic. The cast is solid, bringing the various characters to life in a way that is believable within the fantastical nature of the series. Overall this is definitely worth a watch if you are looking for something a little different.
