The French Riviera, home to the Beautiful People, and none are more beautiful than Cécile, a precocious seventeen-year-old and her father Raymond, a vivacious libertine. Charming, decadent and irresponsible, the golden-skinned duo are dedicated to a life of free love, fast cars and hedonistic pleasures. 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.

The French classic which was a scandal in the 1950s was written by Sagan when she was just eighteen.
