The music of Nico punctuates the casual musings and chainsmoking of Maurice Garrel, Laurent Terzieff (WOMAN IN CHAINS), Jean‑Pierre Kalfon (LES IDOLES), and Bulle Ogier (CÉLINE AND JULIE GO BOATING), who appear as characters without a story, interrupted only by Nico’s haunting voice.  Presented alongside the short LE BLEU DES ORIGINES.
