Description
At seventeen, Cécile lives a life of sun-drenched indolence with her wealthy, widowed father on the French Riviera. Their carefree existence, marked by a sophisticated detachment from the world, is their carefully constructed paradise. This idyllic, if unconventional, arrangement is shattered with the arrival of Anne, a poised and intelligent woman who threatens to impose order and morality on their hedonistic lifestyle. As Cécile desperately tries to preserve her freedom, the summer unfolds into a poignant exploration of desire, manipulation, and the devastating consequences of youthful selfishness.
