Premise
The film, directed by Axelle Laffont, who also plays Elise, follows a trio of forty-something women who begin dating younger men while on vacation. The trio, Sonia, Cécile, and Elise, are friends who go to the Côte d'Azur in the south of France to help Cécile prepare her vacation home to be sold.
During their vacation, they meet 3 men in their twenties – Julien, Paul, and Markus (a former family friend of Cécile's), who work at a local sailing club. The men are immediately interested in the women, who they have deemed "MILFs". The 6 of them spend a lot of time together as a summer fling; the movie ends on their last day of vacation.
The film also features Laffont's real-life daughter, Mitty Hazanavicius, who plays her daughter Nina, visiting her for a couple of days.
