Blanche (Emmanuelle Chaulet) is interested in Alexandre (François-Éric Gendron), whom she meets at a public bathhouse together with a new acquaintance, Léa (Sophie Renoir); however, Léa’s boyfriend Fabien (Éric Viellard) may be better suited?

The sixth and final entry in Éric Rohmer’s ”Comedies & Proverbs” series is a romantic drama that feels quite obvious from the start.

Still, a lightweight journey to the inevitable ending is enjoyable thanks to some of the conversations and the cast, especially Chaulet who finds the right approach in her portrait of Blanche who lives in a sterile area of Paris and feels deeply insecure about love.
