Storyline
| Plot Summary |
1952, Paris. Nadia, a Red Diaper baby, has a sister, Polish parents, and at 15 is an active Communist. When cops beat her during an anti-American demonstration, she's rescued by a "Match" photographer. As the friendship becomes a love affair and her slogans are tested by new knowledge and emotion, some of the Red youth want to expel her. When she goes with Stéphane to a seaside photo shoot, her father goes to the police. Stéphane faces charges, so leaving to cover the war in Indochina looks appealing. In a parallel story, Nadia's mother meets again her prewar lover, released from Siberia, who challenges the French Reds with very real scars and word of Stalin's anti-Semitism.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Director Véra Belmont recalled that Charlotte Valandrey, who was 16 during filming, was "nice but a bit annoying' and that he was dreading about her love scene (where Charlotte appears topless). " The little girl was new to the subject and I didn't want to shock her. Lambert (Wilson) had the brilliant idea of playing with Charlotte as if she were a little cat. He played down the situation and was able to stroke her gently without hurting her feelings. It went like clockwork," Belmont said. See more » |
