Film Synopsis

In Ocober 1972, Louis Malle and his team spent ten days interviewing passers-by in Paris' busy Place de la République.  The result is a colourful human collage that is both amusing and moving.  We encounter a wide variety of people, ranging from a vivacious woman who has recently lost her husband to a Jewish tailor who spent the war in hiding...
