The villa is beautiful, the hot summer, the nearby Mediterranean. Cecile is seventeen years old. She knows of love only kisses, appointments, lassitude. Not for a long time. His widowed father is a happy adept of passing and unimportant connections. They have fun, they do not need anyone, they are happy. The visit of a woman of heart, intelligent and calm, comes to disturb this delicious disorder. How to dismiss the threat? In the burning pine forest, a cruel game is being prepared. 

It was the summer of 1954. For the first time we heard the dry, fast voice of a "charming little monster" that was going to cause a scandal. The second half of the 20th century began. She would be like this teenager torn between remorse and the cult of pleasure.
