Film Synopsis

Jérôme is spending a peaceful few days with his friends on the French Riviera when, one auspicious day, he encounters a strangely alluring young woman driving a Citroën Méhari.  The woman introduces herself as Simorre and from that fateful moment Jérôme is under her spell.  Drawn into the mysterious woman's world, the young man is soon on friendly terms with her acquaintances and, as he finds out more about Simorre, he becomes ever more fascinated by her.  Before he realises it, the hapless Jérôme becomes tightly enmeshed in the cruellest of traps, one from which there isn't the remotest possibility of escape...
