Synopsis:

The narrator recounts his amorous youth in Paris in the 1970s : a tale of headlong, head-over-heels initiation into love, an intimate story as well as the adventure of a generation; a film about the difficulty of loving. By interspersing the city's neighbourhoods with fragments of letters, photos of young women, and music of the day, the film constructs an amorous geography of Paris : that of the author, who for fifteen years there experienced the discoveries and excesses of his youth. As a counterpoint, one or two super-8 pictures of journeys - the counter-culture in the United States, and later the military dictatorship in Chile - call to mind how that period was.

The narrator recounts the love affairs of his youth in 1970s Paris. It's a tale of a turbulent sentimental education, an intimate story as much as it is the adventure of a generation. It's a film about the difficulty of loving. By mixing different neighborhoods of the city with fragments of letters, photos of young women, and period music, the film constructs a loving geography of Paris: that of the filmmaker, who, for fifteen years, experienced all the discoveries and excesses of his youth there. In counterpoint, a few Super-8 images of journeys - the counterculture in the United States, and then the military dictatorship in Chile - remind us of just how things were back then.
