Plot

In Agnes Varda's directorial debut she faithfully portrays the complicated relatioship between a married couple (exceptiionally played by Sylvia Monfort and Philippe Noiret) set against the backdrop of a small Mediterranean town. Shot with a documentary feel, the film also focuses on the daily struggles of the locals, and was radical enough to later be considered as one of the progenitors of the French New Wave.
