![]() ![]() The trip also proves to be something of a sexual awakening for young Cecile. Raymond is 40 years old, has been widowed for fifteen years, but doesn't let that keep his mood down - he's changing out love interests every six months or so! Also in attendance is Raymond's favorite lady of the month, Elsa. Seventeen year old Cecile, having recently finished boarding school, celebrates by going on a two month long vacation to a Mediterranean villa with her playboy father, Raymond. Bonjour Tristesse scandalized 1950s France with its portrayal of teenager terrible Cécile, a heroine who rejects conventional notions of love, marriage and responsibility to choose her own sexual freedom. ![]() But then, one long, hot summer Raymond decides to marry, and Cécile and her lover Cyril feel compelled to take a hand in his amours, with tragic consequences. Charming, decadent and irresponsible, the golden-skinned duo are dedicated to a life of free love, fast cars and hedonistic pleasures. And none are more beautiful than Cécile, a precocious seventeen-year-old, and her father Raymond, a vivacious libertine. The French Riviera: home to the Beautiful People. ![]()
