One Wild Moment
Don't go near the water... with your best friend's daughter!
Directed by Claude Berri
Produced by SFP, Renn Productions
A morally compromised summer romance comedy that uses the French Riviera setting and a transgressive affair to explore desire, deception, and the collision between adult friendship and sexual impulse.
Pierre, 44, contentedly divorced, takes his teen daughter to the Côte d'Azur along with his friend Jacques and Jacques' own teen daughter, Françoise. On the topless beaches of Saint-Tropez, Jacques and Pierre discuss marriage and being parents. Then, in a wild moment at a nighttime party, Françoise starts playing with Pierre, and one thing leads to another: they become lovers. After a couple of trysts, Pierre wants out, but Françoise declares her love for him and wants to tell her father about it. She does, but leaves out Pierre's name, so Jacques enlists Pierre's help in identifying who seduced his daughter. What will Pierre do?
