In an interview granted on the occasion of the release of this film, Serena Grandi described her character and the young protagonist's approach to erotic scenes, coming to the conclusion that shooting an erotic scene with a teenager is easier. "The teenager remains unconscious" - To the journalist who asked her the fateful question, she answered frankly. "It's more difficult with a professional because a teenager hasn't really understood the mechanisms of love or intercourse yet. He stays there not so much embarrassed but absolutely unconscious of what he is doing, maybe even a little annoyed, he lives it as a very simple thing, almost a game."

Virginie Ledoyen's debut.

This film is loosely based on the novel 'Les Exploits d'un jeune Don Juan' by Guillaume Apollinaire.
