Suffering a break in her relationship, she seeks refuge with her father Gilles (Éric Caravaca). But she discovers she has disturbed him with his new lover, Ariane (Louise Chevillote), one of his philosophy students, close to Jeanne’s own age.

Beautifully shot in black and white, this is classic French filmmaking that emphasises character and lets none of its characters off lightly. Starring Garrel’s real life daughter Esther, we see moments of genuine personal drama unfold with the gravity of real life.
