Filmul de debut al cineastei franceze Agnès Varda este un studiu pătrunzător al unei căsnicii în prag de destrămare, desfășurat pe fundalul unui mic sat pescăresc mediteranean.

A penetrating study of a marriage on the rocks, set against the backdrop of a small Mediterranean fishing village.
Both a stylized depiction of the complicated relationship between a married couple and a documentary-like look at the daily struggles of the inhabitants of Sète in the South of France, Varda's discursive, gorgeously filmed debut was radical enough to later be considered one of the progenitors of the coming French New Wave.
