Sweet Ecstasy (1962)

In the sun-drenched realm of the Riviera, we meet Olivier, a strikingly good-looking yet emotionally volatile student. His life takes an unexpected turn when an effervescent actress catches his eye during a theatre rehearsal, drawing him into her world of affluence and excess. This isn't just any group of people but a collective of disenchanted rich youths, their lives a whirlwind of wild parties, the latest trends, and impulsive escapades that toy with unsuspecting bystanders. Olivier finds himself entranced by the sultry Elke, whose blatant flirtations compel him to abandon the actress and plunge headfirst into a hedonistic yacht party. But the tantalizing allure of Elke's world and Olivier's naive nature form a volatile mix, setting them on a collision course. Amidst this chaos, the yacht is accidentally set ablaze by Charlie, a member of their group. In a cruel twist of fate, the group turns on Charlie, drawing him into a perilous display of daring on a construction site, a dangerous game of revenge born out of their own decadence. Sweet Ecstasy paints a vivid picture of youth in revolt, exploring the tumultuous intersection of innocence and decadence in a world where money and amusement are abundant, but true happiness remains elusive.
