Phil a seize ans et Vinca quinze. Ils passent, comme chaque année, leurs vacances sur une plage bretonne, dans une maison que partagent leurs familles respectives. Ils sont comme frère et sœur mais cet été leur relation devient autre chose, sans qu'ils en aient encore vraiment conscience. Cependant, Phil fait la connaissance de l'élégante M Dalleray, trente ans de plus que lui et passant les vacances seule sur la côte où elle a une maison. Elle invite le tout jeune homme à y entrer un moment, elle l'incite ensuite à y revenir. On la voit attendrie, émue par la fraîcheur charmante de ce jeune homme en fleur. Phil, flatté par l'attention de cette femme belle et raffinée mais qui a l'âge de sa mère, se laisse séduire et lui rend bientôt en cachette des visites nocturnes... que Vinca ne tarde pas à découvrir et à lui reprocher.
