Synopsis
A film by the director of Petite Chérie. Stella, 17 years-old, is blond and extremely beautiful, and living in a close relationship with her mother, Antoinette, on the French Riviera. While her mother works cleaning the villas of the wealthy, Stella is a dancer in a nightclub. Both of them are spectators of a world of unrestrained spending and abandon, day after day. But all may change upon the arrival of Romansky, a real estate agent who falls in love while watching Stella dance. Antoinette thinks she can pull the strings of romance but she is unaware she could end up breaking her beautiful little doll.
