Synopsis

Summer 1939 in the Provence, France: the 14 years old Julien has a crush on his cousin Julia, who lives together with his family in their small hotel. Unfortunately she ignores him, because she's several years older. Then the hotel guest Charles enters the competition, a slimy twenty-something who lusts for the girl, despite the fact that he's engaged.

Famed photographer David Hamilton’s second film follows the exploits of two cousins coming of age in the beautiful French Countryside. A young man and girl fall in love as they compare the differences between the raunchy open sexuality of the servants with that of the refined repressive deviance of their respective families. With war imminent, the bond between the two teens as well as the love between the two families grows more intense.
