In this first feature film of the French New Wave, one year before Truffaut's The Four Hundred Blows, the dandyish François (Jean-Claude Brialy) takes a holiday from the city to his home village of Sardent, where he reconnects with his old chum Serge (Gérard Blain), now a besotted and hopeless alcoholic, and sly duplicitous carnal Marie (Bernadette Lafont). A grave triangle forms, and a tragic slide ensues. (Eureka Entertainment)
