lmages of night and images of love are
interwoven with each other, couples
meet and separate, fragments of life are
captured in short scenes. They don't tell
a story, and yet, they tell the story of
every one of us: They are like the songs
of Edith Piaf, simple and eternal.

women, men and children give them-
selves up to their passionate feelings; the
end of their journey is reached at sun-
rise.
