I think its safe to assume that Joelle is the imaginary friend of Camille.
compared to her own mother,Joelle is more ideal kind of companion.
Ideal mother in Camille's mind?Maybe.
                                                                               
Camille is too young to know about sex,but Joelle knows a lot,
and 2 girls seduce a young man together after they bombed his apartment.
(Camille's wild sexual fantasy?)
                                                                               
On the beach,the young man had sex with Joelle,
Camille sitting next to them, saying "Im not really into sex...."
but later,the young man kissed Camille while he's fucking with Joelle.
Maybe it represents her jealousy to the ideal type which posits by herself.

Later,Camille introduced Joelle to her father,saying:"She's good friend of mine"
and encouraged her father to touch Joelle's breast.

Maybe the the 2 events mentioned above indicates:
Camille's anxiety about her affection to her father,
and at ther same time,anxious about her own sex appeal(not seductive enough).
                                                                               
Since its a surreal film I dont wanna explain every detail.
But it definitely isnt Blier's best work.
In his good works,he can combine sex comedy with sentimental/sublime feeling,
Cinematography of this film is beautiful to some degree,
but its not funny enough.(《 挑逗性高潮》都比這片好笑)
and the plot is also confusing,not"Wow so cool"kind of confusing,
but "What the..."kind of confusing.
                                                                               
                                                                               
Charlotte is leggy though,for her this film is worth seeing.
