	A Dublin Catholic schoolgirl worries about measuring up to her peers in everything from bra size to boyfriend in Irish-American helmer Marian Quinn's long-in-the-works feature debut, "32A." Sweet, brightly shot coming-of-ager, set in 1979, covers familiar terrain (first period, first kiss, first puff of marijuana, first spewing drunk, first betrayal) without breaking any new ground. However, lively teen perfs and cameos by Aidan Quinn (the director's older brother) and Jared Harris as dour Irish dads could seal the deal for quality cable and DVD. Pic nabbed the best first-film prize in world preem at Galway Film Fleadh last summer. After casting many envious glances at other women's busts (even the nuns'), 13-year-old Maeve (fetching Ailish McCarthy) finally gets her first bra, size 32A. To her surprise, she also attracts the attentions of local heartthrob Brian (Shane McDaid), a wild 16-year-old. Maeve's so smitten that she abandons her girlfriends at a crucial moment. Snubbed by her mates and in hot water at home, Maeve learns some hard lessons about what's really important in life. Marian Quinn makes a strong impression playing the bitter, divorced mother of Maeve's chum.
