The 6th arrondissement of Paris, where students, artists, intellectuals, those seeking meaning, those lost and those guided by tourist intent converge. An American student is enamoured with a local dandy, hoping for love to wash over them. Her illusions meet reality, as her paths take her through the city.

Coming from the legendary film publication Cahiers du Cinéma, which at the time had revolutionised film criticism for over a decade, Douchet misleads the viewer with Seine‑bank iconography, tempting us to expect a typical fin heureuse. In this sitcom‑like piece, digressions typical to American cinema exaggerate the witty premise to a fizzing finale.
