Overview

Set against the snow-dusted backdrop of a ski resort in the French Alps, Marianne is a young woman whose innocence is tested after she agrees to a date with Bob, a vacationer far more exciting than her current boyfriend. What starts as a flirtatious encounter soon sees Marianne following Bob to Paris, where his irritation at her unexpected arrival quickly transforms into a scheme: he decides to exploit Marianne’s naivety to lure wealthy clients for blackmail. But beneath Marianne's innocent exterior lies more complexity than Bob anticipates. This film navigates themes of sexual awakening, manipulation, and the blurred line between innocence and experience, wrapped in the era’s distinctively French erotic drama style.
