Storyline:It’s summer, and the air is quivering with passion, as teenager Pauli, who stays at boarding school travels to a small seaside town to enjoy the holidays with his family. On the train he gets to know the attractive woman, in whose compartment he sits down immediately after he has risked a glimpse into the section of the sleeping beauty. A little later, she vanishes and has sex with a stranger on the train toilet. He is thunderstruck at the train station when his father picks up not only him but also her. The unfaithful blonde, Yvonne is obviously the mistress of his own father. The mood in the villa is heated up from the beginning sexually: His womanizer father and sexy Yvonne, a crazy grandmother, Mimi, a cuckolded uncle, Alex his oversexed lesbian wife, Myriam and the lesbian maid, Silvana. Soon he meets his old neighbor Julia, who turns out to be an 18-year-old beauty. Like Pauli, she is still a virgin, but perhaps this summer, when they both lose their innocence, will be to each other. But there are several who are looking for the young beauty. Not least Pauli’s own father.User review:This might be called a West German attempt to capture the success of Emanuelle. Sylvia Krystel stars in the title role also.’70s were the time of sexy older women who were willing to experience better sex in their lives beyond what they can get within their marriage. Success of the movie “Emanuelle” sort of gave permission to bring this concept into movie making. Julia is almost a carbon copy of the format of Emanuelle if only the backdrop wasn’t so exotic.The movie captures the atmosphere of the ’70s extremely well. Everyone was looking for a sexual encounter with a sexy women which was available due to extreme physical appeal of women born in the ’40s.The movie gets it right, and it’s an enjoyable look at the various situation people wished they were in during that period. The movie is made very well, and is worth the watch.
