Charles, a young provincial student, arrives in Paris to take a room at his cousin Paul's. Paul, also a student, seems only to be interested in hanging out and partying. Charles falls in love with Florence, whom he meets at Paul's favorite hang-out. Clovis, a trickster friend of Paul's, who is always turning up at the flat, has a hand in manipulating the action. An early and highly regarded work by Chabrol.
