Her large body acts as a protective shield from which she processes the world and her own douleur. Either forced to hide behind the scenes or sometimes simply made an outcast by others Anais finds herself playing the role of observer. During the annual family summer vacation Anais has her first brush with sexual awakening albeit by proxy via her beautiful fifteen-year-old sister Elena with whom she has a love-hate relationship. At a cafe the two girls meet Fernando a young law student from Italy. One night Fernando sneaks into their holiday home and Anais who shares a room with her sister watches unnoticed as Fernando and Elena cajole grapple romance and submit to passion. In the end Anais turns over and cries herself to sleep. The whole story comes out into the open a few days later when Fernando's mother pays a visit to discuss a missing ring with their mother. The girls' furious mother breaks off their holiday and orders her daughters to pack their things right away. The summer vacation is over but as they discover on the long grumpy journey home the family adventure is not. From France's controversial Catherine Breillat who directed the provocative and thought-provoking 'Romance' comes her newest examination of female sexuality told from a female point of view...
