Can happiness be shared by three? FrancoisTruffault uninhibitedly recounts the anarchist, unconventional relationship of one of the most emblematic love triangles in cinema history, in an archetypal Nouvelle Vague creation starring the magnificent Jeanne Moreau.

Synopsis

Paris, 1914. Two friends, Jules, a shy Austrian writer and French intellectual Jim meet Catherine, a passionate and beautiful woman, the textbook definition of a "free spirit". In the midst of World War I, a love triangle blossoms between them, simultaneously wonderful and tragic. The triangle will break up and Jules and Catherine will marry and have a daughter. For a while, they will all remain friends; but balance seems unattainable.
