Synopsis:

Sept jours ailleurs / Seven Days Somewhere Else:
A young composer, searching for some meaning to life, spends a week with a company of dancers on tour. He has a brief love affair with one of the dancers, but returns home to his waiting wife, child, television and profession - and a gun.

Nuit noire, Calcutta:

Camarades / Comrades:
A young man who works in the shipyards as a dockworker is invited to stay with a friend in Paris. He decides to make a go of it in the big city and gets a job in an auto manufacturing plant, joining the union when the workers propose a takeover of the company. He begins to date a local girl, and things go well until the tedium of his job and blind allegiance to the worker's union begins to wear down his spirit.

Coup pour coup / Blow for Blow:
Coup Pour Coup is a film about a worker's strike at a textile plant, and is written and enacted by the actual striking workers. This film was a collaborative and collective effort. Videotapes of upcoming scenes were discussed by the workers, and camera angles as well as dramatic refinements were agreed on before any film was exposed. Given that the film presents the worker's point of view and is a largely amateur effort, reviewers found it surprisingly effective as a dramatic piece. One interesting feature of the film, and of the strike itself, is that it was organized and led by women. While there had been male union leaders, they were bypassed or ousted for their lack of leadership, understanding, or negotiating skills.
