This is a compelling story of a love triangle that has fallen apart. Alexandre (Jean-Pierre Leaud), his girlfriend Veronika (Francoise Lebrun), and nurse/lover Marie (Bernadette Lafont) put the pieces of life's puzzle together as they discuss love, fears, real-life experiences, and emotions. Director Jean Eustache takes time to develop his characters, and the result is worth the effort.
