L'étudiant étranger

Invited by a prestigious university in Virginia, a young Frenchman discovers the life of the college boys, their sports teams, and their campus in a paradisiacal valley. It's a time of an America of the past, before the explosion of fashion and the fracas of the nineteen sixties. The young man soon realizes that he is still a foreign student. He will break the lines and transgress the taboos without even considering them: first by falling in love with a young woman, April. Then, after falling in love with a Boston heiress, Elisabeth, a fantastical and corrosive person. With a tone of sincere clarity, this coming-of-age story revives, with humor and nostalgia, the fragile days of adolescence when everything was the first time.
