CGiii Comment
The only LGBT interest is that is was directed by Ozon.
Otherwise, it's a dreary story of a rich kid becoming an impartial hooker.
That impartiality transfers - very rapidly - to the viewer.
An Ozon dud.

Isabelle is on summer holidays with her family in the south of France. She decides to lose her virginity to a German boy called Felix, but the experience leaves her cold. By autumn she is exploring her sexuality further on through working as a prostitute under the nickname Lea and meeting an older man called Georges as well as other clients.
