The year 1966. Take the baby. Jean Chapot made a very touching film about a dispute for a child between two families: in the past she led a very active life and gave birth to a young woman. Not knowing what to do with the baby, she leaves it to the man. A man raises him, but forgets to do an important legal act. He did not adopt a child.
Now she is fully using her rights - takes the child, and his teacher in protest climbs to the tower and threatens to jump off it.
But the focus is not even the child, but the relationship of the main character with his man, who wants to remain reasonable and internally disagrees with the actions of his wife. As the intrigue grows, it becomes increasingly difficult for him to be near her.
Due to the small budget, the film is more like a TV show. By the way, in my opinion, the most magnificent Romy Schneider is significantly overplaying. For example, her performance in Triple Cross (also filmed in 1966) is much more adequate.
And of course, there are parallels with the fate of the actress. It is known what a drama for her in life was the loss of a child.
In the end: The film is interesting primarily due to the duo of Michel Piccoli and Romy Schneider.
