Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
Jean-Pierre Lefebvre's direction is apparent in this symbolic, avant garde film. An elderly man sits in a chair in a snow-covered woods. Children cut out colorful pictures from magazines that later become animated. A woman in a black veil wheels a baby carriage to the sea. The old man gives a lonely blonde woman and the children black boxes as everyone waits for the sun to shine on them and relieve the gloom of winter. Lovers of avant garde cinema will find merit in the feature while others will question its meaning and obscurity.
