The beginning of the story is also quite plain. In the daily encounter of a man and a woman, everyone is polite, estrus and stop at courtesy. Although they have good feelings for each other, they hold gifts.
This faint melancholy feeling was broken when ANNE sent a telegram to JEAN-LOUIS saying "Je vous aime" (note that it was je vous aime, not je t'aime). It lasted five days and it took more than 5,000 trips. The JEAN-LOUIS of the kilometer Monte Carlo Rally, changed the stability of the middle-aged man, trotting happily like a young man in the hotel corridor. Immediately drove more than a thousand kilometers from Monte Carlo back to Paris that night, just to see ANNE in the morning. What a romance this is!
This plot reminds me of the experience of a French friend of mine. At that time he was still a young single noble, a typical French petty bourgeoisie. He was gentle and so steady that he was almost a little stupid. Anyway, he could never imagine what passion he could have. However, one day in a small chat he mentioned a Swiss girlfriend he had had, and he actually drove from Paris to Switzerland every weekend to visit. I couldn't help but admire him, I didn't expect that there could be such agitated emotions under this calm surface.
This film is the same, it tells a true romantic story that is seemingly plain.
