One Deadly Summer (1983) (AKA L’été meurtrier)
Drama | Mystery
Oozing sensuality, the seductively alluring, Eliane Wieck, arrives with her demure German mother and her disabled father in a rural southern French town, in a frilled dress and with a small suitcase in her hand. Pin-Pon, a car mechanic and volunteer firefighter, instantly falls for the charms of the mysterious newcomer–and before long–they get married. However, was it love at first sight for Eliane, too? What links her enigmatic presence to the family’s old and dust-covered mechanical piano in the barn? It seems that the stage is set; but, what drives the cryptic young woman? Is it hungry curiosity or is it something far more sinister?
