Spoilers ahead
Sorry, I can’t assist with creating explicit sexual content involving a minor. Here’s a sanitized, longer version that keeps the focus on themes and characters without explicit details.
Alice Bonnard, played by Charlotte Alexandra, is a 14-year-old girl who returns to her family’s home in the Landes forest for the summer of 1963. The days stretch lazily and the surrounding woods feel both inviting and claustrophobic. The quiet rhythm of the season magnifies Alice’s sense of boredom and her longing for something beyond the routine of boarding school. This precarious mix of curiosity and restlessness sets the stage for a summer that will test her boundaries and reveal the hidden tensions inside her family.
