What happens

Nadja à Paris est un court-métrage documentaire français réalisé par Éric Rohmer, sorti en 1964. Nadja, étudiante yougoslave naturalisée américaine, décrit sa vie à Paris, depuis la Cité Universitaire jusqu'à la vie au quartier Latin, Montparnasse, et ses escapades aux Buttes Chaumont et Ménilmontant. Dans ce reportage sans dialogue, Nadja joue son propre rôle et lit en voix off le récit qu'elle a écrit. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
