Meeting with the Médiathèque d’Arles, for an exchange at the end of the screening.
Synopsis:
A serious, hard-working young provincial, Charles arrives in Neuilly to stay with his cousin Paul, a seductive and cynical Parisian. Both are working on their law degree. When Charles falls in love with Florence, Paul is determined to make her his mistress immediately. In despair, Charles takes refuge in his study books, only to flunk out, while Paul, despite his lack of attendance, passes with flying colors. Charles wants to test his cousin’s luck one last time, and with his own weapons.
