The Green Ray Eric Rohmer

Romantic French drama written and directed by Eric Rohmer as part of his 'Comedies et Proverbes' series. Following a recent break up, lonely Parisian Delphine (Marie Rivière) was expecting to spend the summer in Greece, but after being let down by her travelling companion at the last moment, she decides to go away on her own. After visiting Cherbourg, the Alps and the beach, she meets a fellow female traveller who tries to cheer her up - but their frienship is short-lived as the two women clash over their differing views on love.

Delphine then continues to wander alone, searching for a partner, while trying desperately to hold on to her romantic ideals...
