Faustine et le bel été (1972): A French Teen's Unrequited Love for Professor

In the French film Faustine et le bel été (1972) [English: Faustine and the Beautiful Summer],  instead of staying in Paris, Faustine (Muriel Catala), a high school student, decided to spend her summer vacation in the country. 

After Faustine's arrival, a boy from her neighbor's bourgeoisie estate attempted to seduce Faustine. But Faustine was infatuated with Jean - the boy's middle-aged uncle whom, "[...] is on the French literary faculty at Grenoble."

However, Faustine's age-gap love was unrequited. Or was the literature professor a savvy ephebophile and knew that one of the best ways to engage an inviting nymphet was to show restraint, self-control and poise?
