and the others navigate their own paths of self-discovery and intimacy with local residents. Cast and Crew
The plot is deliberately threadbare, serving as a mere clothesline for Hamilton’s images. Three teenage girls—Caroline (Mona Kristensen), Hélène (Emmanuelle Béart in her debut), and Élise (Ingrid Held)—survive a boating accident and wash ashore on a seemingly deserted Mediterranean island. Stranded without adult supervision, they explore not survival skills but their own budding sensuality. They splash in tide pools, wander through ruins in diaphanous nightgowns, and form a temporary, magnetic bond with a mysterious young man (Patrick Bauchau). Nothing of consequence occurs in the conventional sense. The drama is entirely internal, a slow-motion slide from innocence to a knowing, yet still dreamy, awareness of desire.
