Film Synopsis

One hot summer, a young man appears unexpectedly at the Mediterranean home of a rich family.  He introduces himself as Boris, a friend of Philip, the son of the household who is away but expected to return at any moment.  Philip's sisters - Julie and Vanessa - are instantly taken with Boris who, despite his air of mystique, holds a strange fascination for them.  He is handsome, educated, polite - in fact the perfect guest.  Only André-Pierre, Vanessa's husband, is suspicious about Boris.  Who is he, what is he doing here, and what has happened to Philip...?
