Les Italiens tells the story of the summer of 1968, a season destined to become legendary. Three young Italians arrive in Saint-Tropez almost by chance—without money, without plans, and driven only by an endless thirst for life. Swept up in the allure of a place that embodied the dream of freedom—among luxury yachts, sun-drenched beaches, wild nights, models, aristocrats, and artists—they soon capture everyone’s attention, becoming a local phenomenon known simply as “Les Italiens.”

But behind the myth, the parties, and the carefree glamour lies a far more intimate story: the encounter between Gigi Rizzi and Brigitte Bardot. Not the untouchable icon admired around the world, but a woman struggling to escape the burden of her own fame.
