Conte d'hiver
- Drama
- Romance
Felicie and Charles have a whirlwind holiday romance. Due to a mix-up on addresses they lose contact, and five years later at Christmas-time Felicie is living with her mother in a cold Paris with a daughter as a reminder of that long-ago summer. For male companionship she oscillates between hairdresser Maxence and the intellectual Loic, but seems unable to commit to either as the memory of Charles and what might have been hangs over everything.
A Tale of Winter is a 1992 French drama-romance directed by Eric Rohmer that follows Felicie, a single mother haunted by a forgotten summer love five years earlier. When Charles mysteriously vanishes after a holiday romance, Felicie finds herself torn between two suitors in present-day Paris, unable to move forward while memories of what might have been linger. The film explores love, loss, and the complications of second chances with Rohmer's signature contemplative style.
