Plot

This arty New Wave film marked the directorial debut of Jacques Rozier, and almost finished him commercially. A vacationing television technician (Jean-Claude Aimini) falls in love with two teenage girls (Yveline Cery and Stefania Sabatini) in the months preceding his induction into the military. The girls plot revenge when they discover his two-timing, but one of them has already fallen in love with him. Rozier did not make another film for over a decade following this one's crashing failure. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
