Film Synopsis
Johnny is a Parisian young man who is passionate about rock 'n
roll. He rehearses with his fellow musicians in a cellar bar
belonging to Monsieur Franck. In return, he runs the occasional
errand. When he realises he is being exploited by hoodlums,
Johnny throws a consignment of drugs into the River Seine instead of
delivering it as agreed. Threatened with death, he hastily leaves
the capital and heads for the Camargue, to stay with his family and
await the arrival of his beloved Gigi...

The meaning of life, the trauma of existence and the nature of faith - welcome to the stark and enlightening world of the world's greatest filmmaker.
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
