Ages correct?

Is it possible that the release date of the film is incorrect?
Or the ages of the actresses incorrect?
The reason I ask this is because these girls seem older than 11 or 12 years old. Which is how old they would have been at the time of the filming.
I dont want to be crude but Im a 20 year old woman and I definitely didn't have that much pubic hair when I was 11. I didnt have any I dont think and neither did any of my friends. Those girls are rockin the full 70's bush!? And its not like they had big boobs but still they had a lot more than a normal 11yo. Again, when I was 11 my friends and I barely had anything going on chest-wise.
I watched clips of this on youtube and the whole time I just figured I was watching a movie of adult actors that had young faces. But everything online says these girls were 12 when the film was released.
Did anyone else think these girls might be older?

no way are they older; if you actually watch the film you can tell. and only one actress showed her lower region, Eva Ionesco, (the blond) who was a famous child model of the time. The girls have almost no breasts either. Of course the boy is more developed because he is older. And I can't imagine explicit scenes from THIS film being available to look at on youtube. The film is banned in most countries.

Actually, the entire film was on youtube, under a gibberish name, for some months last year. They must have FINALLY discovered it and took it down.

But it was really there from about April through September of last year (I found it by accident, then kept checking back periodically out of curiosity to see if it had yet been discovered.) It was there, full nudity and sex and all.

I also found Eugene Armstrong's real-life beheading in Iraq by terrorists on youtube, as well. It took nearly a week for that to be taken down.

I guess youtube is so massive now that, unless enough people report something, they can't possibly keep up with everything that is on there anymore.
Of course, once it is discovered, the User's Account (who uploaded it) is suspended.

To answer the original question, NO, the girls were not older. The film was filmed in late summer-fall of 1976, and released in Europe in the late spring of 1977. It had a brief USA release in a few art houses in October of 1978. The girls really were 11 and 12 at the time of filming. The boy was 17.

Do you have pictures of yourself at age 11 to prove these things you are saying? Can you send them to me?
