- Synopsis
- In Nantes, a bored young man named Roland is letting life pass him by when he has a chance meeting with a woman he knew in his teens: she's Lola, now a cabaret dancer. She's also the mother of a young son, and harbors the hope that his father, who deserted her during pregnancy, will return. Roland realizes he's in love with Lola, and this gives sudden purpose to his life. But how does she feel? Woven into the story are an American sailor who likes Lola and is kind to her son; a girl on the eve of her 14th birthday, when all things seem romantic; the girl's mother, a lonely widow; and, an aging woman who misses her son.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It is offbeat, with shafts of tender feeling and truth. But trying to touch on too many subjects makes the film uneven."
-
"There is something gentle and elusive going on here, and you should catch the movie at long last even if you've seen it before."
-
"Free-flowing debut feature from French director Jacques Demy who, with his wife, director Agnes Varda, flourished during the New Wave."
-
"A captivating and beautifully shot love story."
