SYNOPSIS: Bertrand bides his time in a casually hostile and envious friendship with college chum Guillaume.

With its ragged black-and-white 16 mm photography and strong sense of 1960s Paris, Rohmer’s second “Moral Tale” is a wonderfully evocative portrait of youthful naiveté and the complicated bonds of friendship and romance.
