A 48-year-old American woman comes to Haiti in search of the young boy who gave her the first orgasm of her life three years previously, but finds that she must share him with a 55-year-old Boston-based English woman, in Cantet’s diverting ‘70s-set tale of sexual tourism. Non-judgemental plotting, unassuming direction, and solid performances combine to quietly entertaining if unspectacular effect.
