In the style of an operetta, like director Jacques Demy's more famous film Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, this melodramatic story is set in Nantes in 1955 and centers around the tragedies of three or four intertwined lives. Enhanced by excellent choreography, this film still did poorly at the box office when it was first released. In order to save it and encourage audiences to see it for its own merits, 76 French critics took out an ad in «Le Monde» to promote the film, and some critics said that if this movie failed, so would all of French cinema.
