"Yvonne's Perfume is a mysterious and romantic drama of desire. In the early 1950s, on the shores of a lake wedged between France and Switzerland, a trio of holiday travelers meet, clash, and fall in and out of friendship and love. Adapted from the novel Villa Triste by Nobel Prize-winner Patrick Modiano, it follows Victor, a deserter escaping his past who lusts after the beautiful actress Yvonne. Their push-pull flirtation attracts the attention of gay bon vivant Dr. Meinthe, who can't help but insert himself into their tryst. But their idyllic holiday can't last forever"--Container.
