My Tutor

The film opens by contrasting two very different environments: an energetic aerobics class and the tense atmosphere within a high school exam room. Here, we meet Terry Green and Bobby Chrystal, setting the stage for their intertwined destinies.

Bobby's focus for the summer is on losing his virginity to Bonnie, who happens to be unattainable at the moment. His plans are abruptly derailed when he learns he must retake his French exam, needing a score of 85% to get into Yale, where his father wants him to follow.

To help Bobby achieve his academic goals, Mr. Chrystal hires Terry as a live-in tutor for the summer. He promises her a $10,000 bonus if Bobby manages to pass his French final, clearly indicating the high stakes involved for everyone.

As they begin their tutoring sessions, it becomes evident that Bobby lacks interest in French. Despite his aspirations to study astronomy at UCLA, Terry is adamant about helping him pass the exam and make his father proud.

As the summer progresses, Terry enjoys late-night swims in the pool, unaware that Bobby has been secretly watching her. Their interactions become more charged as Bobby's curiosity gets him caught in the act during one of her swims.

After experiencing another failure with his friends in their attempts to lose their virginity, Bobby discovers Terry in distress over her boyfriend's infidelity. This shared moment brings them closer and leads to the beginning of a passionate love affair.

As the days grow hotter and summer's end looms, Bobby feels pressure about his approaching exam. His feelings for Terry deepen despite her insistence that their romance must come to an end after the test, leading to emotional conflicts.

Things take a turn when Mr. Chrystal, who has developed a secret crush on Terry, accidentally stumbles upon Bobby and Terry in a passionate moment. This incident heightens tensions, complicating their relationship further.

After achieving a score of 91% on his French exam, Bobby's father informs him about the promised bonus for Terry. This news plants seeds of doubt in Bobby's mind regarding Terry's true feelings for him, leading to an emotional rift.

Fuming over his father's control and the implications regarding Terry, Bobby confronts Mr. Chrystal. This confrontation marks a pivotal moment in Bobby's journey towards self-acceptance and independence.

In the aftermath of his confrontation with Terry, Bobby turns his attention back to Bonnie, trying to re-establish his past crush. This shift helps Bobby channel his newfound confidence and self-esteem into pursuing Bonnie.

As Terry prepares to leave the Chrystal home, Bobby seeks her out to apologize for his earlier accusations. They share a heartfelt goodbye, acknowledging the impact of their summer romance, culminating in a bittersweet farewell kiss.

After saying goodbye, Bobby feels a sense of renewal, looking towards the future with hope. The summer affair may have ended, but he is ready to embrace the vast opportunities that lie ahead for him.
