Synopsis: The shenanigans of meagerly clad French vixens who indulge in teasing and manipulation when they're not actually engaging in sex is the subject of this light-hearted melodrama set in the permissive heart of the French Riviera in the early 1960s. Foreign student Elke (Elke Sommer) is the blond bombshell who sleeps with Maddy (Pierre Brice), the thirtyish, handsome predator and group leader - without allowing emotions to enter the picture. When a shy student named Oliver (Christian Pezey) stumbles on the group, Maddy has Elke seduce him and then feed him one bitter herb after another. Such mix of pleasure and cruelty - hence Sweet Violence.
