The ghosts of love and sex Literally, the title of the film translates as ' Shipwrecked'. An unpretentious image of the state in which the mature sexy Frenchwoman Caroline is located. Shortly before the events described, she lost her husband, while from him she is expecting a child.
The pain of losing Carolyn extinguishes in a lonely country house on the shore of the lake, but the calm is only temporary. Forgotten feelings flare up again when Salma and Malik, the sister and younger brother of the deceased husband, come to her. Salma wants his 20-year-old brother to stay with Carolyn for a couple of days.
That's where the chain ends. The brother of the deceased husband, like all healthy males his age, craves love or at least sex, and here is such a seductive madam in the next room. Carolyn, on the other hand, can’t help feeling the similarities that Malik and her husband have. Will an adult woman be able to maintain sobriety of mind and not succumb to the erotic provocations of a young man, when you so want a little affection and love in such a difficult moment?
The author of the short meter Renaud Dukoing did not raise a lot of money and does not shine with the originality of artistic and staged solutions, but he definitely guessed with the casting. Chloe Andre has all the qualities for which we value French actresses: endurance, dignity, sexuality, depth, sensuality, inner peace. Yes, as if to order for the creation of MILF-figures Andre ' protuning' in the breast area, which we are shown several times, but even a hundred grams of silicone hidden under the skin can not cause antipathy to Chloe.
Mehdi Meskar generally has in his filmography work ' In the house' François Ozon, where, incidentally, also touched on the topic of inter-age lust. In Les naufrag?s he overplays a bit, but not to the point of disgust again. Some chemistry between the actors is present (or they just play well), the dialogue is also spelled out reliably, and therefore you watch Les naufrag?s without stopping.
In the erotic component, Dukoing did not please the scene of frank sex, but only hinted at it with an open finale. Apparently, despite the chemistry, the Frenchwoman Andre would be embarrassed to squeeze in the arms of the Arab youth Meskar, who is also really younger than her 15-20 years. Therefore, the film remains content with a hinting scene where Chloe squeezes only his penis and through manual stimulation brings the happy boy to orgasm.
