Directed by Jean-Luc Godard

Film Synopsis

At Nyon's cultural centre, amidst the bustling crowds of bargain hunters, Marie and her boyfriend are manning a second-hand book stall when they are drawn into an intellectual conversation with another couple.  Nearby, an unattached man named Gédéon offers his services to a woman, Josette, who has just been verbally assaulted by her husband.  After an interval of some months, Gédéon and Josette are seen enjoying an idyllic love affair in the country.   On  one of their outdoor excursions they encounter a friendly stray dog named Roxy which they feel bound to adopt.   Roxy is left behind when finally the couple part.  In a parallel story strand, the cultural centre serves as the meeting point for another couple, Marcus and Ivitch.  Theirs proves to be a tempestuous relationship, and when Marcus wryly comments that they should have had children his partner viciously retorts that she would rather have had a dog.  The narrative ends with Roxy back in the countryside, peacefully meditating on the mysteries of life.
