Félicie (Charlotte Véry) and Charles (Frédéric Van Den Driessche) had a brief affair during a seaside vacation. Then Charles went abroad on business, and Félicie gave him her address so they could stay in touch; however, she made an unexplainable mistake in the address and has lost all trace of her lover. Five years later, she is still single and raising a daughter by Charles. Though she is courted both by her no-nonsense boss, Maxence (Michel Voletti), and her highbrow friend Loic (Hervé Furic), she is still in love with Charles and hopes to meet him again. ~ Yuri German, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Vincent Canby, New York Times
At least part of the comic appeal of Mr. Rohmer's work is the complete confidence, clarity and decisiveness with which he dramatizes the utter confusion of his emotionally besieged heroines.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
A Rohmer film is a flavor that, once tasted, cannot be mistaken.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Felicie's naive faith pulls the story along; so does the almost Capraesque hope that her absurd romantic prayer will come true.
-
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
It's a small work, but nearly perfect.
-
Michael W. Phillips, Jr., Goatdog's Movies
A difficult film to like.
