The last in a season of films by the brilliant young French director Eric Rohmer
Starring Jess Hahn Van Doude, Michele Girardon
When Pierre Wesselrin, an impoverished composer, learns that through the death of an aunt he will inherit a fortune, he throws a party to celebrate - only to discover that the information was false and the money has, in fact, gone to his only living relative, a distant cousin. Penniless, he begins a gradual decline into total poverty and loss of self-respect.
