In this film, Philippe Durand wanted to express all that his experience of the Algerian war left in him, as physical and moral bruises. It is a love film, it shows the daily life in France of the fiancée that the young called left and who fights against absence. He drew a close correspondence between this girl, who was harmed by the accidents of daily life, and that boy was soiled by what was forced to do for the superior needs of pacification.
