For assistance to murder Catherine Berger (Catherine Deneuve) is sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment. There she gives birth to a son, Simon (Jean-Jaques Briot). After her release Catherine wants to make up for the lost years and tries to built up a close relationship to her already grown-up son. Despite some tensions when she finds out that Simon has a love affair with her best girl-friend Catherine's efforts work out and in the "happy" end they become a real family when she finds the perfect lover - Simon's teacher. Written by Antje Kuechler
One thing about this movie: because Claude Lelouch (the director) is fond of fast cars, he shot a short movie, mandatorily bundled with the projection of the main title, showing a rendez-vous between a young man and his girl friend.
The man begins his race in Paris on the ring boulevard that borders Paris. Driving as fast 100mph in Paris (no special FX) without advising the Paris City Hall of his mad project, Claude Lelouch (who drives the car) runs 10-12km in the city in 7 minutes...
The movie has been shot using a camera installe on the front bumpers of a Mercedes 300SEL 6.9 because of the quality of the pneumatic shock absorbers (to avoid image vibrations).
Further, the soundtrack (engine noise) has been recorded doing the run AGAIN on a Ferrari 308GTB.
This guy is crazy!
