One of the main films of the "French New Wave" by the director of "The 400 Blows". The film is about a passionate love triangle (partly a prototype of "The Dreamers"), which conquered France and then the whole world with its airiness and lightness. As the slogan says, this film is a "hymn to life and love." Well, that's the pure truth!
The soundtrack, composed for the film by Georges Delerue was named by TIME magazine as one of the ten best in the history of cinema.
