The efforts of an aspiring filmmaker to include an unwilling woman in his production.

She's a beautiful gifted performer, but her work is not the sort that invites popular acclaim. Despite the fact that she is unlikely to become famous, she enjoys her life as a performer who lives just outside the mainstream. Awaiting her backstage one evening is a Spanish painter who has seen her show and wants to make her acquaintance. They walk around Paris getting to know one another, and then the painter returns to Spain. Something about the man has moved Lady M to passion: she flies to meet him in Barcelona and he shows her his beloved Catalonia. This time, however, their relationship is as much about passionate lovemaking as it is about compatibility. So smitten is Lady M with her new man that when she discovers that the painter has a black wife and child, she is only a little bit taken aback and she invites his whole family to join her in Paris. Surprisingly, they do, and the number of people sharing their love and sexual appetites changes from two to three.

A young Swiss couple, Vincent and Françoise, plan to leave Geneva and settle in Africa: a friend of theirs living in Algeria promises to give them a job there.

After a couple of days, their money is spent in restaurants and cheap hotels, so they continue their tour by sleeping in cattle sheds and asking for money and accommodation from people. An unexpected discovery, a gun found in a car's glove compartment, gradually turns their methods somewhat more dramatic.

本片获洛加诺电影节金豹奖 ◎ 简　　介： 瑞士导演Alain Tanner的第一部故事片。1968年，导演曾目睹了5月的巴黎街头景象。他对那些年轻示威者不很感兴趣，但却被那些游行队伍中的年长者所打动。所以他拍摄了这部电影，讲述了一个从资产阶级舒适生活中退出的老头子的故事。影片带有鲜明的1960年代色彩。 故事的主角 Charles 是一个50岁的商人，他继承了家族产业，成为公司老板。在公司的百年大庆上，他似乎一点都高兴不起来，反而看上去一脸沮丧。原来此人与一般资本家不同，他对劳动阶层抱有同情心，此时他担心起工厂里的工人来。 因为工作需要，Charles经常接受电视采访。而就在一次采访结束后，他抛开自己的舒适生活和繁忙生意，离家出走了。 很快他就碰到了同道中人，一对无政府主义男女。他们是那种1960年代典型的生活在中产阶级家庭的叛逆青年。后来男青年还把他的汽车推下了悬崖，以示拒绝物质享受。Charles搬进了他们的陋室，整天读书思考，讨论世事。女儿看到父亲跟那对男女呆在一起，非常高兴他能跟自己同享自由思想的乐趣。 但他的儿子却很不认同他们。他雇人找到了父亲，并把父亲送进了精神病院。即便上了车，Charles也没忘记向儿子宣扬他的幸福观。 这部电影最大的意义就在于其鲜明的时代特色。当时对工业社会的批判已经不仅仅是哲学家的事，知识青年以实际行动投入其中。理想主义具备了前所未有的坚实基础，但主流传统的干预总是会让理想破灭。很难想象，Charles如果没有被儿子找到的话，事情会往怎样的方向发展。
