The Story:
In the sun-drenched South of France, the Lherminier family gathers for their annual tradition at the grand ancestral estate in Torrignes, home to widower Walter Lherminier, his spirited daughter Juliette (Odile Versois), and his devoted sister Délie, but whispers of financial woes loom over the idyllic summer.
As the adults grapple with the heartbreaking decision to sell the sprawling property, young Jacques awakens to the pangs of first love for his cousin Juliette, only to face rivalry from the suave Parisian architect Pierre Gabard, who arrives to appraise the estate and swiftly courts her, while Jacques’s confusion deepens with the enchanting arrival of Aunt Odette, who captivates his father, and the children’s naive rebellion against losing their cherished sanctuary unfolds.
A poignant tale of fleeting youth and inevitable change, this evocative drama captures the bittersweet end of innocence as the summer fades, the house is sold, and Jacques, back in the classroom, reflects on the childhood left behind in Torrignes, reminding us that some vacations are truly the last.
