Bilitis 4K 1977 FRENCH

The young French writer Catherine Breillat, who published her first novel at the age of 20, offered Hamilton the intimate world of a fifteen-year-old boarding school girl as one of her favorite motifs. Bilitis is in love with the photographer Luke, but she is not attracted to physical intimacy with a man, on the contrary she wants tender and sublime feelings. The beautiful Melissa, a friend of Bilitis' parents, who invited the girl to her home for summer vacation, also suffers from her husband's rudeness and inattention.

Brief moments of love affair between Bilitis and Melissa should testify to the kinship of souls. But the more mature, life-knowing Melissa refuses to continue the affair. Then Bilitis decides to find a sensitive and pleasant lover for her, not realizing that as a result she will face the first drama in her destiny as a child, naive, but no less bitter.
