Tender Cousins (1980) Synopsis

With Adolf Hitler threatening Europe, against the backdrop of the deceptively peaceful summer of 1939, curious and inexperienced fourteen-year-old Julien arrives at the family's estate in verdant provincial France. Before long, as Julien begins to experience the intoxicating effects of first love, smitten with his beautiful sixteen-year-old cousin Julia, World War II breaks out and, suddenly, the boy becomes the man of the house and the remaining women's object of desire. Now, all that the unripe adolescent needs is a warm embrace and a daring kiss. By the end of his vacation, Julien will receive both.—Nick Riganas
