In one scene, a young woman and young man giggle and flirt as they stand, almost entirely in the buff, in a yard of some sort, near a beach. The young man helpfully hangs the young woman's bra on a clothesline to dry. Other lingerie sways in the breeze. [Boston.com]

It changes your perspective somewhat. [motorcycle-usa.com]
