Le sourire: Unedited 4K Restored Edition

[Machine Translation] Love, eroticism, lust, and the fantasy of the Lolita complex begin with sex.... The film depicts the ultimate in eroticism with a limpid sensibility.

One day, Francois falls in love at first sight with the beautiful Odile's limbs and smile as she sleeps on the train, and at the tennis court where they meet for the second time, he asks her out on a date. Odile also becomes friends with Jean-Jean, a striptease caller at the amusement park, and makes a surprising choice...
