Film Synopsis
Monsieur Maurice is the manager of a large department store in
Paris. A kind man, he takes under his wing 20-year-old
René, a trainee shop assistant. Life has been hard for
René. He lost his parents when he was a child and has
grown up in an orphanage. His dream is to become a blues
guitarist. This is the kind of music he likes best and he hopes
that his guitar playing will allow him to win the affections of the
girl he has fallen in love with, Nathalie. Just when everything
appears to be going well for René, his world suddenly falls
apart. Monsieur Maurice is forced to retire and is replaced by
someone who is far less sympathetic. His guitar hero dies.
And Nathalie rejects him...
