action

The enterprising 18-year-old Annette from Belgium, who is enchanting with her naivety, goes on a long journey - only equipped with a camping bag. On rainy North Sea beach a plentiful importunate journalist has awakened in her the desire to Paris and especially Nice by car Tramp know. There are no difficulties with this for pretty young girls. More than a dozen men of all ages, different origins and different looks, but with only slightly different intentions, are happy to take Annette with them for a while, only to drop her off again just as quickly if her hopes are not fulfilled.

These hopes for a little adventure are not by chance, however, rather they are provoked by the extremely experienced and self-confident Annette, who tells everyone a little story of lies. So soon “adventure” follows “adventure” and “victim” follows “victim”. The spectrum ranges from the general manager to the actor to the boxer, from the youthful to the playboy to the honest petty bourgeois, from the psychopath to the serious baron. The trip ends happily, of course: the first man Annette really gives herself to loves her and will bring her back to Belgium.

criticism

The lexicon of international films draws the following conclusion: "A teenage film, partly frivolous, partly sentimental love story, with a parade of well-known French actors in mini-roles." superficial film that is only refreshing and entertaining in places. Possible from 18. "
