The film follows Bilitis, a teenage girl spending the summer at a countryside chateau with a married couple. Amidst the idyllic and dreamy setting, she explores her sexual awakening and emotional confusion, falling in love with the wife, Melissa, while also engaging in romantic entanglements with young men her own age.

The movie is more visual and atmospheric than plot-driven, with a heavy emphasis on romanticized erotic imagery and soft lighting, consistent with Hamilton’s signature style.
