What begins as a chance meeting between a thirty-something English woman and a sixteen-year-old French boy quickly deepens into something more over the course of an overnight ferry crossing. The two have almost nothing in common, yet the tension between them is unmistakable—and when they finally act on it, a late twist leaves you questioning who really seduced whom. Note: made for the Arte TV channel as part of the 'Masculin/Féminin' collection, in which ten directors each explored gender dynamics through a single story. Actor Gilles Guillain was 18 at the time of filming; director Catherine Breillat has said the crew shot his intimate scene in a single take, wanting to capture something genuinely raw and unrepeatable.
