00:00Through the binoculars on the cliff, Isabel, wearing a swimsuit, walked down toward the shore.
00:04When she reached the beach, she first dried her hair.
00:07Seeing that no one was nearby, she removed her bikini and lay down to sunbathe.
00:11Her brother, Victor, who had been peering through the binoculars, hurried over and called out to her.
00:16Isabel was surprised to see him.
00:18He told her that a young German tourist named Felix was waiting for her back at the villa.
00:23She quickly straightened herself and returned with Victor.
00:25When they arrived, Felix had already gone out.
00:28The family sat down for lunch together.
00:30Afterwards, everyone went off to take a nap.
00:33Victor opened the door to Isabel's room and found her pleasuring herself.
00:36In the afternoon, Victor saw Felix playing near the water's edge while Isabel and Victor sunbathed on the sand.
00:42Sure enough, Felix passed by their spot and Isabel waved to him.
00:46They talked briefly about their evening plans.
00:49That night, under cover of darkness, Isabel slipped out of the villa.
00:52She and Felix strolled hand in hand down the village streets chatting, sharing ice cream and stealing kisses.
00:58Eventually, they ended up back on the beach.
01:00Isabel offered him the last bit of her ice cream.
01:03Felix took it straight from her fingers.
01:05Their eyes met and a charged, ambiguous tension hung between them.
01:09Felix gently traced the tip of Isabel's nose before leaning in for a kiss while he stroked her arm, as if to reassure her.
01:15Facing her first sexual encounter, Isabel neither panicked nor appeared excited.
01:19Rather, she seemed detached, almost as if watching the scene unfold from a distance.
01:24Felix walked her back to the villa.
01:26At the door, Isabel told him she felt connected to him a quiet acknowledgement that he had guided her through this new experience.
01:32Once inside, she stood before the mirror, gazing at her bare abdomen with an impassive expression.
01:37In her room, Victor, who had stayed up all night, asked how she felt, but Isabel didn't want to talk.
01:42It was clear the encounter had left her unfulfilled.
01:45The next morning on the beach, Felix came by to see Isabel.
01:49She was deeply affectionate with her family, and they all splashed around in the shallows, everyone except Felix, who lingered at the water's edge, looking uncertain.
01:57That evening, the family gathered to celebrate Isabel's 17th birthday.
02:01Isabel appeared withdrawn and alone.
02:03The following day, as they drove home, Isabel spotted Felix riding his bicycle.
02:08In that moment, she realized she no longer held a place in his heart.
02:11Back at school, her classmates chatted naively about their weekend romances.
02:15That night, Isabel logged onto an escort website under the alias Leia.
02:20She watched various explicit videos, left her contact information, and arranged her first paid date.
02:25A young escort named Leia walked slowly down the hotel corridor and arrived at room 6095.
02:31There was a knock at the door, and someone inside opened it.
02:35Leia stepped in, and Georges Ferriere, the client, was taken aback.
02:38The young woman before him had long hair that cascaded over her shoulders, and a quiet, mesmerizing beauty.
02:44Her features were delicate, and her posture was upright.
02:47Georges Ferriere's eyes were filled with admiration.
02:50Georges, clearly delighted, gently praised her beautiful eyes and melancholic temperament as he stroked her long hair and laid her on the bed.
02:57Later, the girl emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a bathrobe, and changed back into her clothes.
03:02Georges reluctantly asked if he could see her again.
03:05She softly said yes, and they said goodbye on friendly terms.
03:09Not long after, Isabel arranged a meeting with another client.
03:12However, this man behaved strangely.
03:14He only masturbated beside her and, at the end, ejaculated on her back.
03:18He then refused to let her shower afterward, and paid her euros 100 less than the agreed fee.
03:23Isabel confronted him, but he threatened her.
03:26Frustrated and humiliated, she had no choice but to stay quiet.
03:29Just then, a new message arrived.
03:32She boarded the next train for her appointment.
03:34She felt the leering gaze of a man sitting nearby.
03:37Turning her head, she glared at him coldly, and he quickly looked away in embarrassment.
03:41She then refocused on her phone and replied to the next client.
03:45She got into the client's car, and she insisted on being paid first.
03:48He agreed without hesitation.
03:50The man made a sarcastic remark.
03:52She looked at him, coldly unfazed and composed.
03:55She returned home and showered in silence.
03:57Her stepfather opened the door without realizing she was inside.
04:01He looked at her for a moment and left.
04:02Soon afterward, Georges contacted her again for another meeting.
04:06Now familiar with each other, their time together felt more relaxed.
04:10Georges even tipped her.
04:11She kissed him on the cheek to thank him, but Georges embraced her tightly around the neck.
04:15The meaning was clear.
04:16Isabel's journey of sexual exploration was far from over.
04:20She continued meeting different people and confronting the complexities of desire.
04:24Yet she remained always clear about what she wanted.
04:26Her emotional detachment and internal clarity made her seem like a rare flower rising from
04:31the mud calm.
04:32But the good times didn't last.
04:34During an intimate moment, Georges suddenly suffered a heart attack and died.
04:38Isabel panicked.
04:39She quickly gathered her things and fled.
04:42However, the police later reviewed hotel surveillance footage and identified her.
04:46When they showed it to her mother, she was in disbelief.
04:49Back home, her mother discovered Isabel's login details for the escort website and found
04:54a large amount of cash hidden in her room.
04:56Overcome with grief and anger, her mother demanded to know why her daughter had become
05:00a prostitute.
05:01Isabel sneered.
05:02In anguish, her mother slapped her and then, realizing what she had done, broke down.
05:07The two embraced and cried together.
05:09At her mother's insistence, Isabel agreed to see a psychologist.
05:12Her mother confessed her confusion.
05:14She had always provided Isabel with everything, including money, and couldn't understand these
05:19choices.
05:19The psychologist explored Isabel's motives from financial, emotional, and familial angles.
05:25When he asked if any clients had ever questioned her age, Isabel replied provocatively.
05:30Her mother blushed.
05:31The doctor merely offered a gentle smile.
05:33As the session continued, Isabel challenged the doctor's questions while her mother tried
05:38to steer the conversation.
05:39Eventually, the psychologist sided with Isabel, recognizing her agency.
05:43For a brief moment, she let her pride show like a young woman finally being heard.
05:48Later, Isabel stayed at a friend of her mother's house to help care for their children.
05:52By the time the couple returned, Isabel had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
05:56The husband offered to drive her home, though his wife hesitated.
06:00Her mother's friend, Veronique, held conservative views and insisted that Isabel donate the money
06:05she had earned, calling it tainted.
06:07Isabel teased her.
06:08Is it that you don't trust me or your husband?
06:10Isabel didn't press further.
06:11She had grown weary of other people's guilt.
06:14Back home, Isabel lay beside her stepfather, Patrick, resting her head on her hand and giving
06:18him an unreadable, ambiguous look.
06:21He hesitated, saying he was tired and going to sleep.
06:24Isabel remarked dryly, that was a dangerous answer.
06:27Patrick, clearly unsettled, reached for a glass of water and took a sip.
06:31Then, mimicking her posture, he propped his head on his hand and met her gaze.
06:35Isabel challenged him, why do you always treat me like a little girl?
06:38Their mother, Sylvie, sensing the tension, appeared at the door and sent Isabel away.
06:43She then approached Isabel for a private conversation, but Isabel interrupted, demanding that Sylvie
06:48admit her own affair first.
06:50Sylvie froze, caught off guard, and quietly backed out of the room.
06:53Soon afterward, Isabel went out with her friends to a dance hall.
06:57There she met Alex, a young man closer to her age.
07:00She agreed to go with him.
07:01They danced freely, twisting through the music and the crowd.
07:04They kissed on a chain-link bridge and made love in his room.
07:07There was a real happiness, and Isabel even used her past experience to guide him gently.
07:12But later, as she stepped out of the shower and entered the living room, she saw Alex
07:16laughing with his family natural, happy whole.
07:18And just like that, the illusion shattered.
07:21Isabel retrieved one of her old cards and arranged an appointment, only to discover her
07:25next client was Alice Ferriere, the widow of George's.
07:28Alice had found Leia's number in her husband's address book and wished to see the girl he was
07:32with when he died.
07:33Now, in this final encounter with Alice, Isabel found a profound, wordless connection
07:38to women united by grief, sharing a stillness that transcended therapy or judgment.
07:43In that silent communion, all that remained was the memory of George's and the peace Isabel
07:47had long sought.
