- L'épine vinette [The thorn]
- An adolescent falls madly in love with the image of an unknown girl
riding by on a bicycle. His girlfriend, upset at not having been recognized,
tells him she's certain it is her sister. But her sister has been dead
for several years. Valentin goes in search of her.
- Agathe
- Can death be as lifelike as life? Many would have their doubts but
not Valentin, who ends up finding the girl. There is a man who is slightly
mad, owns a manor and adores roses; a mysterious gang on bicycles that
is scouring the region; and a magic level crossing, behind which the
living and the dead each follow their destiny.
Based on a novel by André Dhôtel; screenplay by Jean Dewever
