Lili is fourteen and on holiday with her family at a campsite, restless and impatient with her own inexperience. She is drawn to an older man, a playboy, and sets out to test the hold she has over him, though she finds that her moods and her power over others do not stay under her control. The encounter between them moves uncertainly, and Lili's pursuit of what she thinks she wants does not resolve as she expects.
The film was directed by Catherine Breillat, who wrote the screenplay with Roger Salloch, and it was released in 1988 as the second of the nine features she directed, following A Real Young Girl and later including Perfect Love, Romance, Fat Girl, Anatomy of Hell, Venice 70: Future Reloaded and Last Summer. Delphine Zentout plays Lili, with Olivier Parnière, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Berta Domínguez D., Jean-François Stévenin and Diane Bellego in supporting roles. It runs 88 minutes.
On IMDb the film holds a rating of 6 out of 10 from around 1,600 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 5 out of 10 from a much smaller number of votes. The difference in vote counts reflects how much more widely it has been seen by IMDb users.
