Synopsis

Bored, wealthy Parisian socialite Frédérique picks up young sidewalk artist Why, brings her home, offers her a nice hot bath and coffee, and seduces her. Then Why follows Frédérique to the latter's Saint-Tropez villa, where they alter their sensuous encounters with wild parties for the idle rich. At one of these parties, Why meets Paul, a handsome young architect, and falls for him. Jealous Frédérique intervenes only to lure Paul into her own arms, and the two soon depart for Paris, leaving Why alone with her frustration at the villa.

Critics' reviews

"What is extraordinary is the portrayal of a kind of deviate Dolce Vita, in which the waif comes to regard her former lovers, male and female, as parental figures"

Renata Adler: The New York Times
"[It] depends almost entirely on style, and as style it succeeds. He is not so much interested in his story as in how to tell it. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
