Summary
A fifty year old woman, scarred by a life of disillusionment and regret, returns to the
place where she lived twenty years before, to rekindle happier memories. She meets
a young woman, the daughter of the current owners of the property, who is on the point
of abandoning her home - just as she did, all those years ago...
Review
Louis Delluc’s memorable experiment in impressionist cinema provided a fascinating study
in time and memory. It was to be a source of inspiration for successive filmmakers,
not least of whom was Alain Resnais, who would use this film as a model for much of his
work.
