Insight

Here is the English version of this fabulous Québec-only soft porn soundtrack from the master, Cousineau. L’initiation – bande originale du film de Denis Héroux. It's the legendary Québec Sex Liberation B-Movie Soundtrack with a few groovy tunes! L'Initiation (french version) concerns the sexual and intellectual awakening of Victoria (Chantal Renaud), a freckled good girl who enjoys an occasional skinny-dip but can't hold a candle to her best friend, Nadine (Danielle Ouimet), who enjoys rolling around naked on her inflatable swimming pool folding chair just to infuriate her mother. While Nadine goes through a string of men, the more cautious Victoria finally lands in the arms of Gervais (Jacques Riberolles), a middle aged French author visiting Canada who's teaching a literary course. Victoria's counterculture awakening broadens her horizons, allowing her to see how mind and body can be combined for a fuller daily existence.
