A movie that is forty years old, but so modern if you see it with today eyes. The daily French way of life in the suburbs. It takes place in the north of Paris suburb area, near Roissy Charles De Gaulle international airport, worldwide known. Most of the characters were professional ones, although not being superstars, but many were actual, normal people living in the suburbs. As I ofter say for such features, that's a movie where many among the audiences can recognize themselves. Accurate study of ordinary folks in their homes, the relationships with their neighbours, their folks, their colleagues. A social drama with some light comedy accents. Such as the opening scene. You watch a woman walking in the streets, but only her beautiful bare legs. The camera sticks to the bare legs, and then you hear a car crash, and the driver's exclamation: Ho sh... Funny isn't it? Only with this short scene, you have already got what the film is about. But, beware, everything is not so amusing. It also may be depressing too. Beware. Very interesting movie for those who love little French dramas.
