Directed by the legendary David Hamilton and Gaston Vogel, Premiers désirs is a quintessential entry in the "coming-of-age" genre of the early 80s. The film follows three teenage girls—Caroline, Susan, and Dany—who escape from a boarding school in the Swiss Alps to pursue their dreams and romantic awakenings on the sun-drenched island of Santorini, Greece.
While some critics on platforms like Letterboxd find the plot thin, acknowledging it as "absolute garbage" in terms of traditional storytelling, others praise its visual beauty and artistic ambition.
