One Deadly Summer (1983)

One day, Eliane, a young woman, appears in a small French village. Together with her mother, a German, and her paralyzed father, who is hardly ever seen, she tries to gain a foothold in the village community. However, she is anything but diplomatic and reserved. If anything, she emphasizes her erotic charisma. To the delight of most of the men, but not everyone in the village likes her. Florimond, called "Pin-Pon", a car mechanic of the same age who is involved in the volunteer fire department, is immediately fascinated by Eliane. She comes across as very self-confident, almost arrogant, but she also has a completely different, vulnerable side. After a bumpy start, the two actually get closer. But when Eliane discovers an old piano at a meeting in the barn, she is transformed. She investigates further into the origin of the instrument - it almost seems as if she is on a real mission and is unconditionally pursuing a goal. Finally, she comes across a concrete lead that has to do with a tragic event, a crime, that happened a long time ago. At first glance, Eliane seems naive, but she turns out to be a determined avenger. But her actions have fatal consequences for her, Pin-Pon and several others.
