Synopsis:

The final chapter of Eric Rohmer's 'Tales of the Four Seasons' is as sublimely warming an experience as the autumn sun that shines benevolently on the Rhone Valley vineyard owned by the central character, Magali (Beatrice Romand). The movie follows the adventures of this wiry and vital but lonely widowed mother of two after she allows two friends to play matchmaker. The film's plot, like that of other Rohmer movies, is mathematically schematic as the characters indulge in exquisitely verbalized soul-searching. As sensuously gratifying as it is civilized, with a wonderful performance by Ms. Romand, it reaches a happy ending that feels entirely earned.

Magali, 45, is a wine producer in the south of France. She's a widow, and her best friend, Isabelle, decides to find her a new husband. She puts an ad in the local newspaper and finds a nice man, Gérald. At Isabelle's daughter's wedding, Magali eventually meets Gérald. But there's another man around, Etienne...
