The film follows, William, thirty-ish, out-of-work and looking for a new life after having apparently been thrown out of his previous one. He meets up with Noelle, who seems intrigued by his restlessness - until her economist boyfriend shows up. Yet plot details "do little to convey the power of the film, which lay in its capturing the anarchic-map of William' s life - a life whose lack of direction was read as a rebuke of the Swiss myth of ordnung and self-zufriedenheit. With his roots in documentary, Soutter excelled at creating a loose, vibrierende, cinema, full of quick zoom and dynamic hand-held shots with dialog that often alternated between outright quotations and stylized interviews.
