On the eve of his mandatory military service during the Algerian War, a young television technician spends his final civilian weeks juggling two inseparable best friends, Liliane and Juliette, both of whom he's courting with vague promises of showbiz connections. As the trio heads to Corsica for one last summer holiday, their playful rivalry and flirtation drift toward an ending shadowed by the war neither of them can quite name. Note: this is Jacques Rozier's feature debut and one of the earliest French New Wave films, screened at the very first edition of Cannes' Semaine de la Critique in 1962. François Truffaut called it 'the clearest success of the new cinema.'
