Film Synopsis
Marcel Max has written a play that no publisher will touch.
Evicted from his lodgings because he can no longer afford the rent,
Marcel ends up walking the streets. One evening, he meets an
Albanian painter, Rodolfo, who is as penniless as he is. As he
attempts to get back into his apartment, Marcel finds that it has
already been re-let to another tenant, a musician named
Schaunard. The latter takes pity on the impoverished writer and
invites him and Rodolfo to stay with him. All three men are soon
to experience the same hardships...
