In "Happening," the exhilarating narrative centers around Brigitte, a young Parisian woman embracing her dual reality of mundane daily life and feverish erotic dreams. She balances between the rigors of everyday existence and the liberation of fantasies that hover on the edge of the ordinary. Her marriage, though binding, fails to satisfy her insatiable hunger for passion. Her husband is decimated by an overwhelming gap of 30 years, complexities escalate when he finds his zest restricted to moments when his youthful bride mimics the charm of his grandmother’s nightclothes. This unappealing dynamic leaves Brigitte overwhelmed with a yearning for all the fervent experiences her confined life cannot offer.
To satiate this relentless desire, Brigitte indulges in clandestine encounters that challenge the boundaries of conventional expectations. In one such instance, she engages in an intense ritual within an auto-repair shop, where she is serviced simultaneously by four attentive mechanics. Diving further into the depths of her libidinous urges, she also becomes the unwilling subject to a vicious gang assault by a trio of motorcycle bikers in a dingy basement alcove. The film reaches its crescendo when Brigitte participates in a manic orgy in the acclaimed Parisian sex venue, "La Terasse." "Happening" is a captivating tale unveiling the double life of a ravishing and unapologetically assertive young woman, masterfully portrayed by performances from Carolyn Grace, a French sex sensation, alongside Candy McGovern, a stunning blonde bombshell hailing from Cape Town.
The film's exploration of Brigitte's quest for sexual fulfillment takes viewers through various clandestine encounters, contrasting the tame exterior of her everyday life with the unveiled desires dwelling within. These adventures across different locales vividly depict a woman daring to defy societal norms in her pursuit of hedonistic pleasure.
