Juliette's relationships, provocative dress, and refusal to behave according to local respectability norms drive the conflict.
Saint-Tropez's beaches, yachts, nightlife, and shipyard community form the backdrop for Juliette's entanglements with Antoine, Michel, and Eric.
Juliette's attempt to recapture the rabbit she has released mirrors her resistance to being controlled or returned to the orphanage.
