The most cinematic of the six moral tales, Rohmer can be seen to tell the story more through the action of the plot characters than the lines. The reduction of lines corresponds to the reduction of metaphysical speeches, the reduction of the psychological scenes of the characters, the more lifelikeness, and the lower threshold for viewing. Moreover, the moral anxiety of the male protagonist of this film is not so hypocritical, because the male protagonist is a middle-aged middle class with a successful career and a happy family. The male protagonist is set to encounter a mid-life crisis. The so-called desire is no longer as anxious as the previous ones. Maybe this film is closer to the director himself, so the ending of this film is warm. The male protagonist keeps his moral bottom line and returns to his family to rediscover marriage and love. Unlike the previous ironies. In fact, this one has the lowest depth of thought, but it is the most realistic and easy to understand. The stories in the previous ones are basically unsympathetic...
The story is simple. The male protagonist with a successful career and a happy family and his beloved wife are pregnant with another son, and everything is going smoothly. It's just that he is tired of the three-point-one-line, fixed-rhythm male protagonist, and slowly pays attention to the women on the roadside. The male protagonist's life is really monotonous, and he has nothing to do every day from one to three in the afternoon. This is also his least favorite time, and every time at this time, he fantasizes about lingering with roadside beauties. The appearance of his old lover Chloe disrupted his rhythm. At first, he was proud of himself and did not want to have too much interaction with the dissolute Chloe, but the beautiful Chloe frequently disturbed him just to fill the male protagonist's afternoon time. So the two secretly fell in love with you and me. Troy fell in love with the male protagonist, but the birth of his son made the male protagonist unconsciously return to the family and rediscover the beauty of his wife.
