Bonjour Tristesse

Raymond receives an invitation to meet a friend, Charles Webb, for drinks. Eager for a break from the villa, he quickly accepts, and Cécile informs Elsa and Cyril. Elsa, who was once in a relationship with Webb, insists on coming along, believing his attention will rekindle Raymond’s interest in her. Cyril is indifferent to the outing and content to be near Cécile .

Anne drives Cécile and Raymond in her convertible. At the Bar du Soleil, they meet Webb and his wife. Raymond announces that he and Anne plan to marry in October, shocking their companions. The attention quickly shifts when Elsa and Cyril arrive. Webb enthusiastically praises Elsa’s appearance, prompting Raymond to respond possessively, though his tone falters. Sensing the shift, Cécile distracts Anne with a whispered comment about another man admiring her. Raymond responds jealously, taking Anne’s hand.

The situation becomes tense, and Madame Webb makes several pointed remarks toward Cécile. Anne intervenes diplomatically to prevent a scene, and the group agrees to dine together and leaves the Bar du Soleil. Over dinner and drinks, Cécile becomes intoxicated. Elsa and Cyril arrive at the second bar, drawing attention once again.
