action
Lili is 14 years old, physically well developed, but mentally not yet out of its infancy. She has to spend the summer holidays with her family, who live in rather modest circumstances, at a campsite on the Atlantic. She only has one thing on her mind: getting rid of her virginity. At night she runs away and meets the 40-year-old bon vivant Maurice, who leads an idle life as a concessionaire for a Japanese company for France.
Several times Lili tries to sleep with Maurice, makes him hot, provokes him. He takes her to his hotel suite. But whenever the time comes, she loses her courage to do what she longs for, and she refuses to accept the older man. She finally had her first sexual experience with Bertrand, a shy boy who was immersed in great world literature.
Reviews
For the Fischer Film Almanach , the portrait of the young people is “sober, sometimes sympathetically brash”, but also psychologically empathetic, but the overall film is staged in a clumsy way. Although Breillat circumvents the voyeuristic potential of the motif, the film-dienst believes , they tell uninspired and boring stories, put implausible, precocious dialogues into the main character's mouth, and the camera does not create a mood.
