On a sand dune in Saint-Tropez, 1961, a chaotic and lively scene unfolds. By this time, the resort had been popularized by figures like Brigitte Bardot, Roger Vadim, and Françoise Sagan, drawing holidaymakers for its atmosphere of unrestrained fun. Here, a large group of men and women in mid-century swimwear engage in a boisterous mud battle, their bodies smeared with wet sand. Amid the playful scrum at the crest of the dune, a small, dark, curly-haired dog on the right joins the high-spirited activity.
