196786 min6.9 / 10

A languid, observational summer romance that uses the arrival of a free-spirited woman to gently interrogate masculine desire, jealousy, and the nature of romantic possession.

A bombastic, womanizing art dealer and his painter friend go to a seventeenth-century villa on the Riviera for a relaxing summer getaway. But their idyll is disturbed by the presence of the bohemian Haydée, accused of being a “collector” of men.
