Adopted
from a novel by Japanese author Yukio Mishima, this film tells the
story of an intense and immediate physical attraction between two
very different people. Dominique, a poise, sophisticated career woman
is drawn to Quentin, a handsome, streetwise hustler. She offers him
a luxurious place to live and a regular allowance in exchange for
the passion and excitement he brings to her dull life. Eventually
the difference between their ages, their status and their experience,
erodes their relationship and each is driven dangerously close to
the edge of despair.
