Francois Ozon's Young and Beautiful stars Marine Vacth as Isabelle, a
seventeen-year-old on a summer holiday with her family when she loses
her virginity. Upon returning home, she begins working as a prostitute,
eventually developing something of a relationship with an older john who
treats her better than many of her other clients. After an unexpected
event, Isabelle's mother learns of the girl's secret life, causing a
great amount of conflict between everyone in the family, and leading to
complications between
Isabelle and her stepfather.
Meanwhile, Isabelle's younger half-brother
wrestles with puberty. Young & Beautiful screened at the 2013
Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
