A Woman at Her Window

A Woman at Her Window (French: Une femme à sa fenêtre) is a 1976 French drama film directed by Pierre Granier-Deferre, starring Romy Schneider, Philippe Noiret, Victor Lanoux and Umberto Orsini.

Based on the 1929 novel Hotel Acropolis by Pierre Drieu La Rochelle, it tells the story of a woman who helps a union leader sought by police in 1930s Greece.

One hot night in August she sees from her window a man pursued by the police and on an impulse lets him hide in her bedroom.

He is Michel, an anti-regime militant whose courage, idealism, and humanity overwhelm her.

In 1967 a young woman visits Greece, trying to find traces of her parents: Margot and Michel.
