While wandering through a cemetery, Thomas comes upon Martin -- an escaped convict who commands the teenage boy to bring him money for the train. Thomas, who has few friends and a troubled relationship with his mother, Lili, dutifully returns that night with the cash. But Thomas' relationship with the fugitive is far from over, especially when Martin runs into the boy's mother at the bar where she works.

Alain E Deneuve manages to deliver another great performance in a script that describes an irrational melodrama. We are to believe that a divorced petite bourgeois mother of a young child will show allegiance to a criminal with whom she went to bed in one occasion by destroying her whole existence and ending in prison herself. Four fifths of the movie make sense. The last 15-20 minutes are as likely as an alien invasion. Very well photographed. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
