The story introduces Andr Grard Depardieu, a Frenchman who is divorced from his wife. He takes his beautiful teenage daughter, Vronique Marie Gillain, on vacation to a paradise island with him. She is desperate to appear as a woman and not a girl, so in order to impress a local boy, she makes up more and more fascinating, yet intriguing stories, starting with Andr being her lover a sugar Daddy. Andr is desperate to make Vronique happy and so plays along with her elaborate games, the stories they make up get increasingly bizarre, funnily consistent.Filmed on location on Mauritius, the film showcased the talent of rising star Marie Gillain as Vronique, who portrays innocence with a good degree of sensuality, as a typical young teenager, desperate to enter adulthood. She was nominated for a Csar Award, Most Promising Actress for her performance. Depardieu, already an established actor, provides a trademark comical performance as Andr the eager to please father, doing the unthinkable for his daughter. ........
