Film Synopsis
After recovering from a cancer illness, Lucie is having a hard time restarting
her life, in spite of the well-meaning support she receives from those closest
to her. Encouraged by her friends and family, she goes to a disco,
and this is where she meets Clovis, a seductive charmer who is too full of
himself for his own good. Too conscious of her physical appearance,
Lucie cannot understand Clovis's obvious interest in her and she tries to
avoid him. She takes refuge in dancing, assisted by Dalida, a dance
teacher who believes in living life to the full. With the help of this
extraordinary individual, Lucie will find a way out of her present impasse
and rediscover her zest for living...
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
A wave of fresh talent in the late 1950s, early 1960s brought about a dramatic renaissance in French cinema, placing the auteur at the core of France's 7th art.
