Plot

With Adolf Hitler threatening Europe, against the backdrop of the deceptively peaceful summer of 1939, 14-year-old Julien experiences the intoxicating effects of first love, smitten with his beautiful 16-year-old cousin Julia.

Summer 1939 in the Provence, France: the 14 years old Julien has a crush on his cousin Julia, who lives together with his family in their small hotel. Unfortunately she ignores him, because she's several years older. Then the hotel guest Charles enters the competition, a slimy twenty-something who lusts for the girl, despite the fact that he's engaged.—Tom Zoerner <Tom.Zoerner@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>

On the eve of World war II, adolescent Julian's family enjoys life on its southern French state to the fullest, blissfully unaware of the apocalyptic future. Adult relatives, staff and boarders, in part refugees from Nazi territories, indulge in French cuisine and libertine love. When Hitler's invasion of Poland causes France to mobilize, only youngster, seniors and females remain to run the estate. Julien is now the man of the house, and the most desirable sex partner.—KGF Vissers

With Adolf Hitler threatening Europe, against the backdrop of the deceptively peaceful summer of 1939, curious and inexperienced fourteen-year-old Julien arrives at the family's estate in verdant provincial France. Before long, as Julien begins to experience the intoxicating effects of first love, smitten with his beautiful sixteen-year-old cousin Julia, World War II breaks out and, suddenly, the boy becomes the man of the house and the remaining women's object of desire. Now, all that the unripe adolescent needs is a warm embrace and a daring kiss. By the end of his vacation, Julien will receive both.—Nick Riganas
