Bilitis (1977) - ENG Sub

A coming of age story centering on the exploits of a young girl during summer vacation. The young French writer Catherine Breya, who published her first novel when she was still in her twenties, offered Hamilton's intimate world of a fifteen-year-old girl in an orphanage for girls as one of her favorite motifs. Bilitis is in love with the photographer Luke, but she is not attracted to physical intimacy with a man, on the contrary, she wants tender and sublime feelings. Suffering from her husband's rudeness and inattention is also the beautiful Melissa, a friend of Bilithis' parents, who has invited the girl to her house for the summer vacations. The brief moments of Bilithis and Melissa's love affair should testify to a kinship of souls. But the more mature, knowing life Melissa refuses to continue this affair. Then Bilitis decides to find her a sensitive and pleasant lover in every way, not suspecting that as a result she herself will face the first drama in her destiny still childish, naive, but no less bitter.
