Synopsis

Raoul (Julien Collet) is twenty years old. Provincial, it makes studies of history of art with Paris where it places in a Chambre of good. He prepares a Maîtrise but its concern first is elsewhere: he seeks its first kiss. In the streets, it follows the women whom it does not dare to approach. It tries several times to telephone a certain Isabelle (Helene Médigue) but fall each time on her responder. A friend of childhood invites it to one evening. Arrived over there he does not dance, remains with the variation. And when, at the end of a few hours, it starts to speak with a girl whom it does not know (Marion Cotillard), it is to disappear at once. They will go later to the cinema, without success for Raoul. The weekend, it turns over in his parents who live a small house in the countryside. Raoul is cherished there. In Paris, Isabelle answers finally and agrees to re-examine Raoul. Older than him, she works in a publisher. They dine in a restaurant, then are embraced. She takes it along to her. An love affair starts where Raoul does not show himself more not inspired of both. Without attentions, without enthusiasm, Raoul does not show a great attachment. Isabelle suffers from it, then meets another man. One day, Raoul sees them together, follows them, and finally looks at them being embraced.

Comments

Philippe Harel put many of his personal memories in this film. The actor Julien Collet with the pace of young Philippe Harel and Helene Médigue was relookée according to references undoubtedly personal to the realizer.

Many supporting roles or observers of film became more famous since, such as Marion Cotillard or Julie Gayet.

The film was not a very great success in rooms (24 000 entries in France) and does not seem to have the honor of a publication in DVD.
