La Fièvre

La Fièvre is the song Stéphanie and Clémence listen to repeatedly on their way to the beach, where its refrain becomes part of the girls’ rising, beer-fueled excitement. The song’s importance in the scene lies not only in its lyrics but in the act of replaying it: each return heightens the group’s mood as the journey continues.

The Song on the Drive

On the way to the beach, the girls play the same song over and over. Stéphanie is in charge of the Rewind button, so the music’s recurrence is deliberate: whenever the lyric “For hours, but she gave me the fever” comes around again, the girls become more excited. The repeated line gives their anticipation a shared rhythm, turning the drive into a loop of music and intensifying energy.

Mood and Scene

The song accompanies a night out already shaped by drink and mounting excitement. Before reaching the beach, the girls stop by a small country road through the woods for two more beers; as evening falls and the forest grows chilly, they feel nervous and drive on, leaving the beer behind. By the time they squeeze into a parking space—Clémence bumping the cars in front and behind—their laughter and difficulty walking straight show how the drive’s charged mood has carried into their arrival. La Fièvre is a recurring part of that build-up, linking the girls’ shared exhilaration to the scene’s uneasy approach to the crowded beach.
