Paris, 1928. Antoine Balestro, a young fashionable painter, can no longer work since the death of his wife and disheartens Armand, his gallery owner.

Unknowingly, he is actually speaking with Suzanne, a humble fairground worker who has slipped into the caravan to steal food.

The film achieves the remarkable feat of sketching out characters haunted by suffering while guiding them toward a luminous quest for love and beauty. It evokes a work "both melancholic and at the same time quite light-hearted," defined by Salvadori himself as a true "cheerful melodrama." Its strength lies in its writing: "That's what I like so much about this very refined writing. Themes emerge without being forced or emphasized."The Mask and the Pen
