A moonlight skinny-dipping session between two carefree high schoolers leads to a young boy being accused of a violent assault on his female classmate. After throwing a teacher to the ground, he stomps out of the school gates and spends his summer break roaming a beachside town. Falling down a rabbit hole into a dark, oppressive world of sex and violence, he is taken in by a bar-owner and his libidinous mistress. Meanwhile, the teacher he assaulted hunkers down in a rented villa in the same coastal resort, awaiting a secret tryst with her married lover. What will happen when the student and teacher meet again?
There is a whole lot of raping going on! Or at least that seems to be the case with the last few Teacher themed films from the Impulse division of Synapse films. There is a plot here, but I do think that this is a film that seems to depend much more on the sexual nature of things than the plot. Then again, maybe it is the fact that the plot seems weaker here and as a result the sexual things stand out much more?
To the movie’s credit the women are hot and the scenes are just as hot. If not a little in bad taste, but that is the point. These films are not the type of film you can share with a date or watch with the entire family. That still isn’t to say you can’t have a little bit of enjoyment out of this alone. I know that might sound a little wrong, but that is the type of film we have here overall.
