An homage to some of France's greatest filmmakers--Georges Melies, Marcel L'Herbier, and Eric Rohmer--Alain Resnais' triptych film pays tribute to the power of the imagination. Its three stories follow a utopian architect, reform-minded professors, and children whose magical dreams come to life.
Together, the film's mirrored plotlines weave into an enchanting exploration of the life of the mind.
