Plot
 | This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. |
The plot involves Fabrizio (Martin Loeb), his dog, and Laura (Lara Wendel), a young teen that is madly in love with him. After meeting him a year ago, she returns to him during the summer months. Fabrizio chooses to live his life as a "king" in the forest and delights in taunting and tormenting young Laura. Fabrizio enjoys mentally abusing Laura, as well as treating her like a prisoner. When Laura and Fabrizio climb the "Blue Mountain" one afternoon, Fabrizio decides that he wants to rule the forgotten city and needs a queen. However, young Laura will not do because she must return to her parents at night instead of staying by his side. The two young teens share a fairly graphic first sexual encounter, but Fabrizio's morbid behavior toward Laura is even more disturbing after they make love for the first time. One day, the duo meet Sylvia (Eva Ionesco), a young teen that lives in a house outside the forest. Unlike Laura, Sylvia is very arrogant and pampered looking. Fabrizio, being angered by Laura, tells her that he will forgive her if she gets Sylvia to join their games. Thus, she does as he commands and Sylvia and Fabrizio become partners in crime. They are both as cruel as the other and delight in tormenting Laura in the most hideous ways. The scene in which Sylvia and Fabrizio hunt Laura like an animal is very, very disturbing. Naturally, Sylvia and Fabrizio fall in love and delight in a good amount of sexual play. In the end, Sylvia tells Fabrizio that she cannot remain as his queen and must return to school. This fatal admission leads to a tragic ending.
Trivia
- When Maladolescenza came out, it was decried as child pornography [citation needed] almost immediately, and the film was banned [citation needed] or heavily cut [citation needed] in many countries, but the movie is legal today.
