UV

It's hot - stiflingly hot - in midsummer on an island off the French coast, where a wealthy family lolls away the days in brilliant sunshine, bored beside their cliffside pool. Then Boris (Nicolas Cazalé), a seductive young stranger, arrives unannounced and arouses the emotions of the two sensually arrogant poolside sisters (Laura Smet and Anne Caillon). Boris has neither luggage nor ID, but claims to have been invited by their noshow brother Philippe. He quickly makes himself at home - too quickly for André- Pierre, husband of the married sister. But the girls are swiftly charmed...

Director Gilles Paquet-Brenner creates a strange and unreal atmosphere for this haunting thriller and psychological drama, reminiscent of Jacques Deray's classic The Pool.
