Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
This Swiss film, in French, deals with the progressive deterioration of a young soldier, as evidenced by his having stolen a motorcycle while in his underwear, strewing his military belongings behind him. He undergoes psychotherapy, though to little effect. As he descends into madness, he lurches around as best he can, poking into fringe elements of society including avant-garde theaters and hippie communes.
