The narrator recounts his amorous youth in Paris in the 1970s: a tale of headlong, head-over-heels initiation into love, an intimate story as well as the adventure of a generation, a film about the difficulty of loving. By interspersing the city’s neighborhoods with fragments of letters, photos of young women, and music of the day, the film constructs an amorous geography of Paris: that of the author, who for fifteen years there experienced the discoveries and excesses of his youth, as a counterpoint, one or two super-8 picture of journeys-the counter-culture in the United States, and later the military dictatorship in Chile-call to mind how that period was.
In the 60s, Alberto Giacometti paid homage to Paris, the city where he lived, by drawing its streets, cafés, and more private places like his studio and the apartment of his wife, Annette. These drawings would make up his last book, Paris sans fin (Paris Without End).
