Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Nicholas (Frederic de Pasquale) is a conscience-stricken international news photographer. Revolted by what he has seen in wars in Africa and Indochina, he leaves his job and his girlfriend for a job doing sports coverage. While covering a rugby match between the French and Irish teams in Ireland, he runs into his old American girlfriend, and their affair begins again. As she is very down-to-earth, she helps him begin to sort things out. In an interesting parallel to the story, most of the scenes are framed as if they were to appear as still photos.
