Bonjour Tristesse is a divergent, understated remake in an economy of such films, which goes down more pensive thematic and stylistic avenues. In the summer in the south of France, teenage Cécile (Lily McInernry) is relaxing away with her father Raymond (Claes Bang) and his girlfriend Elsa (Nailia Harzoune). However, Raymond then announces that they will be visited by an "old friend" of his and Cécile's mother, Anne (Chloë Sevigny), who catalyzes tension in the previously tranquil environment.
