Benjamin Braddock, aged twenty, has earned his bachelor's degree and has returned home to a party celebrating his graduation at his parents' house in Pasadena, California.

She invites him up to her daughter's bedroom to see her portrait and then reenters the room naked, making it clear that she is available to him.
