AboutJeune et Jolie is a French drama film, directed by François Ozon & released in 2013.

Plot
Isabelle is on summer holiday with her family in the south of France. The film opens with a scene of voyeurism when Victor uses binoculars from a cliff to watch his sister Isabelle sunning topless on a sun drenched French beach. She then decides to have sex for the first time with a German boy named Felix, but the experience leaves her cold.

By autumn she is exploring her sexuality further by working as a prostitute at high-class hotels under the name Léa. Isabelle sets up a website and uses a dedicated phone to arrange encounters with clients. Among Isabelle's clients is a 63-year-old man named Georges. During her final tryst with Georges, Isabelle is satisfying him in the cowgirl position when he dies of a heart attack. Isabelle vainly tries to save him by administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and CPR, and then she trips, injuring her forehead. She then leaves the room and quits prostitution. When police detectives investigate her client's death, they track down Isabelle and reveal her secret life to her mother, Sylvie, by informing her that her daughter is leading a double life as Léa and Isabelle. After learning that her daughter is a prostitute, Sylvie flies into a rage and repeatedly slaps Isabelle as she lies on a sofa. Sylvie then drags Isabelle to see a doctor.

After Isabelle quits prostitution she returns to living a normal teenage life. She goes to a party where she talks to a boy named Alex, who she eventually starts dating. Once they start having sex, she is once again left cold in which she ends their relationship. Her sex drive leads her back into prostitution. Georges' widow Alice gets Isabelle's phone number from her deceased husband's address book, and learns that Isabelle was with him when he died. She poses as a client and arranges to meet with Isabelle in the lounge of the hotel. When they meet up, Alice tells Isabelle that she is Georges' widow. She has a very pleasant demeanor as they talk about him and return to Room 6095, where he and Isabelle had their encounters. Alice says that dying while making love is a beautiful death and asks Isabelle to lay down beside her on the bed, and begins to caress Isabelle's face. The film ends with Isabelle waking up to find that Alice has left.
