Éric Rohmer’s fleecy farce of romantic overanalysis finds the director exploring the possibilities of handheld camerawork as he seeks a narrative expression of the opening epigraph: “It is impossible to think of nothing.” A young student sees his girlfriend’s ex leaving her apartment one early morning, and his imagination is off to the races. He decides to spy on her and her lover to find out why.
