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.

The(ir) Blurb...

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. During one encounter with Georges, he dies from a heart attack. Isabelle leaves the scene and quits prostitution but the police eventually track her down and reveal her secret life to her mother.
