Charles is a student in Strasbourg. Abandoned by Liliane, his fiancée, who has inexplicably given up on marriage, he moves to Paris, where he decides to pursue a career in cinema. He founded a film club and became a journalist, then assistant to a famous director. Little by little, he came face to face with the various compromises inherent in this professional milieu. After writing a screenplay about his experiences, he enlists the help of Chantal, a young actress, to bring his film project to fruition.
