Synopsis:

Felicie and Charles have a serious if whirlwind holiday romance. Due to a mix-up on addresses they lose contact, and five years later at Christmas-time Felicie is living with her mother in a cold Paris with a daughter as a reminder of that long-ago summer. For male companionship she oscillates between hairdresser Maxence and the intellectual Loic, but seems unable to commit to either as the memory of Charles and what might have been hangs over everything.

On holiday in Brittany, Parisian hairdresser Felicie has an idyllic romance that results in the birth of her daughter, Elise. Through a mix-up over her address, she loses touch with Elise`s father, Charles, and becomes obsessed with the lost love of her life. She finds it impossible to settle with another man and wavers between two unsatisfactory relationships, while holding onto the dream that Charles may one day return. The second in Eric Rohmer`s `Tales Of The Four Seasons` series, this charming and wonderfully acted love story has the compelling quality of a fairytale.

The second part of Rohmer's 'Four Seasons' quartet of films. A gentle love story about ordinary people, set mostly in Paris in the winter, is not as simple as it seems. Félicie (Charlotte Very), through her own foolish mistake, has lost the love of her life - someone she met on vacation - and cannot be satisfied with either of her two boyfriends at home...
