- E!

When the young and overly sensitive filmmaker Julien screens his new DVart-film starring his girlfriend Lili--a sexy young local girl--to hisfamous actress mother Mado, and her lover Brice, an accomplished filmdirector, an unraveling of the delicate peace in their house begins. Thegraceful beauty Lili, who dreams of becoming a famous actress like Mado, isimmediately fascinated by Brice, who gladly falls prey to her charms. Lili'sambitions will stop at nothing and she soon seduces Brice into leaving Madoto take her to Paris so she can become a movie actress. Mado and Julien areleft to pick up the pieces of their disrupted lives, and for Julien the lossis almost fatal. Five years later, Julien, now a more established filmmaker,remakes a fictionalized account of this disastrous love quadrangle, whichnearly destroyed him. He reunites the characters--based on Mado, Brica andLili--in his first, highly autobiographical, feature film. In real life,Lili is no longer with Brice, but indeed, she has become a famous actress.When she learns of Julien's new film, and that it's about that tempestuoussummer of five years past, she tries to reconnect with him.
