Zärtliche Cousinen

On a stately country estate in the south of France young and old meet to spend the summer holiday time here and forget the troubles and worries of everyday life. The younger visitors experience their awakening passions for the first time. The fourteen-year-old Julien, who falls in love with his cousin Julia, who is three years older, is the centre of the action. But she has little interest in him and finds him too young. Finally, the much older Charles comes into play, who is also interested in Julia, although he is already engaged. An intricate game full of sensual twists and turns begins.
