I think of the French film, "Le Bossu", which starred Vincent Perez, Daniel Auteil, and Fabrice Luchini. The film has a female protagonist who needs to be initiated into the rites of passage necessary for the female debutante into French aristocratic society. Her father's brutal murder by his purported friend, and her being raised up by his chevalier as a surrogate father, leads to her idealism and her friends of aristocratic soceity and her love for adventure. The knight, who is as old as her father, must also at the same time go through another 'initiation' process in which he is to discover how to face his love for his blossoming protege and foster daughter, and to abandon the taboo of the 'immense age gap'.
