Now if I was on holiday with my partner enjoying the sunshine, the swimming pool and plenty of sex, I don’t think I’d be very impressed at the arrival of their ex-lover and his teenage daughter.

The most dangerous love-game ever played
Set in a magnificent villa near a sun-drenched St. Tropez, lovers Jean-Paul and Marianne are spending a happy, lazy summer holiday. Their only concern is to gratify their mutual passion - until the day when Marianne invites her former lover and his beautiful teenage daughter to spend a few days with them. From the first moment, a certain uneasiness and tension begin to develop between the four, which soon escalates in a dangerous love-game.
