A troubled young woman seeks escape from her past on the sun-drenched shores of Saint-Tropez and Rio.
A VIRGIN FOR ST. TROPEZ
Annie, a beautiful young woman, lives in Saint-Tropez, France. On a trip to the seaside resort, the American writer Mark Redley meets the girl and is enchanted by her. He writes books on female behavior and freedom. He invites her to accompany him on a trip to Rio de Janeiro. Annie accepts and falls in love with the Brazilian city. However, she is still a girl traumatized by sexual abuse suffered in her childhood.
Proof that not every Saint-Tropez story is all sunshine and champagne.
Saint-Tropez glamour meets Rio allure in a Franco-Friedland joint that doesn't shy away from psychological scars. With a lead haunted by childhood trauma and a jet-setting premise, this is Eurodrama with sunburn and shadows.
