[1] In this gentle, tragic drama, Olivier (John McEnery) is a wealthy young man.
He spends his time building a boat on the lawn with his friend David (Jean-Pierre Cassel), a poor fisherman whom he grew up with.
Though hardly idyllic, the relative calm provided by their friendship is disrupted by Eleonore (Claude Jade), a cute and determined young woman who sets her sights on David.
Eleonore also plays the flipside of the jealousy issue, claiming that Olivier has made passes at her.
Vincent Canby: "Adorable acting, especially by Claude Jade, who brings the right mixture of conventionalism and self-interest into her role."
