Law student Barbet Schroeder meets Michèle Girardon in the street and makes a sort-of date for another time. She vanishes for a while. While he wanders looking for her, he flirts with bakery shop assistant Claudine Soubrier in one of Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales.
It's a look at a small district in Paris, between the markets and shops, and doesn't seem to have much point other than that youth is simultaneously fickle and steadfast... and likes a bit of pastry. In fact, that pastry side becomes a bit of a metaphor for Mlle Soubrier in the mind of Schroeder, who narrates what's going on his own mind.
