This is the kind of work which is meant for a limited audience;It's sixteeen minutes (you read well) of voice-over before the actors speak .
Filmed on location,like in the golden days of the Nouvelle Vague ,the black and white pictures are perhaps too overpolished but they 're nice to look at .
It tells the story of two young persons:
Alexandre does soul-searching ;he buys a gun because it gives some power over the mortals he meets every day;he wanders through the streets ,in the subway,he meets people but does not pay attention to them;when Garance meets him for the first time ,she smiles at him ,whe wants to make friends with him,but he does not seem to care .When he follows her in her room ,he asks her to make love ,but she does not agree because she does think that "making love" kills love ,more,that's it's the opposite of love .
Garance has just broken up with Alexandre ,a boy she loved dearly and she cannot get over it ;she' s in search of another human being :when you do love somebody,you love the whole world.
Both join a "political students group" :they want to change the world ,as their elders did half a century before them ;oddly ,one of them says that their friendship must be able to win over the world ,a parallel with Garance's lost love.
Too often ,the director resorts to voice over , which may get on many viewers'
nerves in the long run;all the story is told in the conditional tense ,which produces the alienation effect ;an UFO on the "feel good" scene of the contemporary French cinema
