Premise

[edit]

The film follows a trio of forty-something women who begin dating younger men while on vacation. The trio, Sonia, Cécile, and Elise, are friends who travel to the French Riviera to help Cécile prepare her vacation home to be sold.

During their vacation, they meet three men in their twenties – Julien, Paul, and Markus (a former family friend of Cécile's), who work at a local sailing club. The men are immediately interested in the women, who they have deemed "MILFs". The six of them spend a lot of time together as a summer fling; the film ends on their last day of vacation.

The film also features Laffont's real-life daughter, Mitty Hazanavicius, who plays her daughter Nina, visiting her for a couple of days.
