Peter, a 20 year old Viennese photographer, has made the bookings for a holiday with his friend Liesl in the south of France.
A French tourist seduces him and he falls for her. Liesl is mad at him. But she wants to go on the trip so she leaves with
him. But they do not spend their time together. She flirts with the men on the beach while Peter falls for Simone, a southern
beauty, even though they don't speak the same language. Simone's fiancé arrives and their affair is over. He misses her exotic
charm and doesn't find it in Liesl who's just 'the girl next door' for him. Liesl flies back home when their vacation ends
but Peter wants to stay on in France and look for a job.
Contemporary love story about the confrontation of French and Austrian culture.
