Product Description
Product Description
Upon discovering her husband has died in a car crash, Hélène (Isabelle Huppert) launches into a wild series of parties, gradually involving her son Pierre (Louis Garrel) in her drugging, drinking and sex-fuelled nights out. When she mysteriously flees, her son is left in the care of her mistress Réa (Joana Preiss) and Hansi (Emma de Caunes), an icy blonde sadist with whom he falls in love. As the film evolves, we realize that this is a period of initiation for the young man until his mother can return and fully bring him to sexual maturity and adulthood.
