When a playboy becomes entangled with a set of polyamorous, jet-setting nomads – he falls in love with an unavailable woman, whilst a suicidal nubile teen, falls madly in love with him.

Four beautiful people in a beautiful location and it turns into Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf. That's the story I want to see.

(Also - I'm well aware that's basically La Piscine and A Bigger Splash ha.)

The interesting thing about this site (as opposed to keeping the logline to yourself) is whenever I defend my idea or get that friction - I end up developing it more and colouring it in. The friction is good for your idea.

I would focus on the couple at the heart of it ? the playboy and the married woman.

Exactly right. It should just be those two really. The one thing that turns me off about the whole concept - it is very European, arty... and sadly unmarketable. Unless I can "smuggle" all these ideas in to something else. We'll see.

IMO, both the libertine and the monogamous lifestyles have elements of prison and freedom. Rather than play one angle, I'd play with showing how each lifestyle has both elements? Maybe it could be a ?the grass is always greener? cautionary tale.

Very very good idea.

I'll play with the logline and see if I can add a twist/hook.

Thank you for your thoughts.

The more I hear about it, the more I like the idea... especially the asthetic - I would add that to the logline.

I would focus on the couple at the heart of it - the playboy and the married woman (unless it's going to be a menage a trois, in which case obvs include the teen) - and then work backwards from that.
