Plots(1)
In Eric Rohmer's SUMMER (LE RAYON VERT), a young woman in her mid-twenties finds herself utterly alone even though she is surrounded by dynamic friends who love her. She is a quiet, charming person who speaks her mind when asked, yet she is also depressed, solitary, and uncomfortable. Working as a secretary in a congenial Paris office, Delphine (Marie Riviere) schedules a vacation only to be ditched at the last moment by the friend with whom she'd planned to travel. Hesitant to leave Paris because she thinks it would be too sad to travel alone, Delphine is nonetheless determined to go somewhere for her vacation. The story progresses without any jarring surprises as the camera becomes another of Delphine's loyal friends who cannot succeed in bringing her happiness. (official distributor synopsis)
