A shingle processing factory operates at one end of the beach. Marie, an attractive young woman, works here. Her boyfriend, Paul, is a grocer in winter and lifeguard in summer. Worried about his mother, Rose, who gambles away her retirement fund in the casino’s one-armed bandits, Paul has trouble coping with Marie’s dreaminess and suffocates her with his awkward affections.
A feeling of discontent progressively overtakes Marie. The vacationers she meets as the seasons go by remind her that in her youthful dreams she imagined herself somewhere else. Albert, obliged to take over the family shingle factory, works his way out of his job. With his smart sports car, he looks exactly like a Prince Charming. Festival selections Awards | |
