Inarticulate characters swear, drink and smoke on Corsica watched by a static camera. It's meant to be some serious art piece 'tableaux' loosely tied together with a predictably PC platonic relationship between an observant old woman and a younger man. Imagine an Eric Rhomer piece full of modern-day crudity and you're about there.
Except... the film has an obvious 'centrepiece'. This consists of a fully naked young blonde curvaceous woman showing off to an 'OnlyFans' type webcam on a secluded beach. In unflinching detail for what seems like 10 minutes, she full-frontally masturbates - FOR REAL (fully shaven of course), starting off by inserting one of those stupid pink 'LoveSense' vibrating things that they all use on Cam sites these days, and then frigging and writhing away whilst the male voyeur talks dirty. And what do we get in counterpoint to this? A few brief shots of a male masturbating, from the side so his 'erection' could well be a prosthetic.
It's completely out of kilter with the rest of the characters' profane but otherwise generally inoffensive, uninteresting musings and dramas. Still, I suppose to construct and get funding for a two-hour 'art' film just so you can get your jollies by filming an attractive young actress debasing herself is quite audacious. Did the parents of the many minors, and also the old woman actress, know that this content was going to be slipped into the film? And in France this 'film' is rated 12.
