In this diary-style documentary, Varda takes a young pregnant woman as her point of departure to shed light on Paris’ Rue Mouffetard. When she made the film, Varda was pregnant. For two months, she walked around with her camera and experienced the dirty market district very differently than before.
This short film is both a whimsical celebration of sensual love and an affectionate portrait of a Paris street. By juxtaposing shots of faces and shop windows with images of an embracing couple, Agnès Varda builds a tender contrast between a personal romance and the collective life of the quarter.
