Point final à la ligne (1981)

Jean-François loves Constance with a tender and passionate love. It is enough to see the behavior of this lunar clown to realize that every moment passed away from his beloved is a real torture. Shared between endless trips in the corridors of the metro and evenings between friends, it is not good in his skin. In search of complete happiness, he tries to satisfy his vocation: to become acrobatic with Constance, but, as a result of mediocre performances, even null, this aspiration leads to a dead end. Disappointed, bitter, bruised, he realizes his loneliness, his inability to apprehend the real, his desire to escape, his velletic instincts; he turns in circles. Attracted by the solitary adventure, opportunity to flee this bad past and to assume as an independent being, he can not bear to be separated from Constance and returns to the room under the roofs and the environment reassuring friends. And thanks to the benefit of a stolen purse in which he participated, he takes refuge in their world both theatrical and imaginary to regain a taste for life and its simple pleasures: the game, the dream, the hoaxes.
