 Lolita, plump, in her 20s, desperately wants her father s attention. He s egotistical, a famous writer and publisher with an attractive wife little older than Lolita. She s in a choir, rehearsing for a concert; she s given her father a tape, which he s yet to listen to. Sylvia, a voice coach, is willing to help the group, knowing she ll have a chance to get her husband s new novel in front of Lolita s father. For Lolita, this is a pattern: people pay attention to her to gain access to him, something she fears is the intent of Sébastien, a struggling journalist who may become her boyfriend. The night of the concert, the music may bring out everyone s feelings.
