The mood is lyric, and the Normandy air is thick with affection: when the sensitive Frangois takes the virginal Pomme to bed for the first time, we are too caught up in their unaffected eroticism to notice much else. Only after the lovers leave their vacation paradise does Goretta begin to reveal his hand: as null grows bored with the affair, The Lacemaker seamlessly goes from lush romance...
