English titles: Handsome Serge; Bitter Reunion.
A young man in his early twenties returns to his home town after an absence of many years. He plans to spend the winter there and convalesce from an illness. He reencounters his childhood friend, now a married man and also a bitter alcoholic.
Interesting study of provincial life. The script, or what of it made it to the final cut, is a little reticent about many aspects concerning the characters and incidents, leaving it for the viewer to fill in with his imagination. The drama develops into a more or less traditional tale of redemption or sublimation or whatever else one may think is the case here.
