Plot

The teenage Chris is on holiday at Saint-Tropez with her mother Claude, while her father remains at work in Paris. After seducing a married friend of her parents and undergoing an abortion, she is looking forward to new sexual adventures. Initially she falls for the older Romain, whose interest is in supplying young girls to rich men. For himself, Romain is far more interested in the mother Claude, who gradually thaws to his approaches and becomes his enthusiastic lover. Put out at this, Chris befriends a German married couple but, after a threesome in their hotel room, the husband leaves in disgust. While starting a romance with the abandoned wife (Barbara), Chris murders Romain in order to thwart her mother.

gollark: Well, I decided to not have ROM and to dump program code into memory starting from location `0` because WHY NOT.
gollark: Maybe a general "flags" register, yes.
gollark: Hmm, what registers do I need other than general ones and the program counter?
gollark: Oh, and the assembly language can be based on S-expressions, like WASM, to be annoying.
