Plot Pauli is a sexually frustrated teen surrounded by sexually liberated women who will not give him the time of day. He meets a beautiful virgin, Yvonne, who strongly resists his charms, which compounds his frustration.
On summer holiday, Pauli travels from his boarding school to a small seaside town to visit his family at their villa. On the train, he glimpses the sleeping blonde beauty Yvonne, sits in her compartment, and gets to know her. She later vanishes and has sex with a stranger in the train toilet.
Pauli is thunderstruck at the train station when his father Ralph picks up not only him but also Yvonne, who is obviously his father's mistress. The mood at the villa heats up due to his womanizing father and sexy Yvonne, his crazy grandmother Mimi, his cuckolded uncle Alex, Alex's oversexed lesbian wife Myriam, and the lesbian maid Silvana.
Soon Pauli meets his old neighbor Julia, an 18-year-old beauty. Like Pauli, she is still a virgin, but perhaps this summer they will both lose their innocence. Yet there are several others who are also pursuing Julia, including Pauli's own father.
