A teenager named Eric (a handsome young Luc Templar) has a sweet-natured girlfriend, but he falls desperately in love with a considerably older woman named Helene (a sensationally sexy Michèle Perello) when he sees her and her husband Francois playing on the beach and having wild sex in the dune grass. An intimacy soon develops between Eric and Helene, as she feels extremely lonely and "sexually abandoned" due to Francois's upcoming work trip, so the boy becomes the perfect companion in her time of "need." During their time together, the boy naively assumes that the woman has truly given him her heart. However, when Francois returns and Eric catches them making love again, he realizes, to his surprise, that she had only been using him as a toy for her own comfort. Heartbroken, Eric soon realizes that his usual relationship with his girlfriend is much more suitable and satisfying for him.
Based on an irrefutably morbid script (in the style of Robert Mulligan's "Summer of '42"), Christian Lara constructs a narrative that is too weak, perhaps because he only designed it for consumers of alternative pornographic products. And indeed, the sex scenes, featuring the delightful forty-something Michèle Perello, are truly beautiful, and don't focus primarily on the most explicit aspects, but rather provide an authentic aroma of romanticism that is unusual in commercial adult films. But, to be more precise, the narrative lacks any sophistication, doesn't break down the main characters, delving a little (just a little) into the idiosyncrasies of each one. It would have been very appropriate to know, for example, why Helene is driven to seek romantic support when she has to separate from her husband for a week (a week!) for work reasons. Something happens there that we don't know, and that drives Helene to a sexual frenzy with a boy.
