Synopsis
In 'Brève traversée', an Englishwoman, whose complexion is frosted by bitterness, meets a teenage boy on an ocean liner for a brief crossing. The film captures their sudden intimacy and intense passion over one night. This encounter serves as an initiatory trip for the teenager, who experiences his 'first time' in a way that is filmed like a girl's perspective. Despite its brevity and futurelessness, this fling is neither pathetic nor trivial.

Résumé
'Brève traversée', directed by Catherine Breillat in 2001, explores themes of desire, passion, and the Masculine/Feminine dynamic through a brief encounter between an Englishwoman and a teenage boy on an ocean liner. The film combines elements of drama and comedy while respecting classical tragedy's unity of time and place. It evokes nostalgia for vast ocean liners as places 'beyond the law' where one can venture outside of life temporarily. Despite being described as a comedic drama, the plot is driven by a serious and intense passion between two strangers.
