Plot
A man about to marry becomes fixated on the knee of a teenager during a summer by a lake.
Sinekatalog’s take
Eric Rohmer's summer comedy of morals follows a man fixated on a teenager's knee. Witty, talky and sunlit, with Lake Annecy as backdrop, it is a charming, ironic study of desire and self-deception.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
