The European equivalent of "The Return of the Secaucus 7," this Swiss film looks at the lives of several men and women in their 30s as they confront the slim gains of the "revolutionary" sixties. Max, a dissatisfied copy editor; Myriam, a redhead into tantric sex; and Marie, a supermarket checker who gives unauthorized discounts to the elderly, search for renewed meaning on a communal farm. The title character, a six-year-old child, is the carrier of their hopes for the future. (imdb)

Typical French cinema, and not necessarily in a good way. An adamantly Rousseauvian movie, it's too intellectual for its own sake: The characters go on a lot about the woes of capitalism, philosophy of time, and tantric sex, but the basic elements of drama (emotion, for instance) are missing. I was constantly asking myself where they're going with this, and in fact there was no payoff. It has no gut-level impact and its many thoughtful dialogs never add up to anything particularly new or clever.
