Story
Alain Cluny (Balthazar) is a middle-aged intellectual who often discusses leftist causes with his girlfriend but lacks practical involvement. When he meets Edwarda, an active member of the political underground, his beliefs are put to the test. Edwarda's group stages a mock interrogation by French secret police to evaluate Balthazar's commitment and reliability. After passing this test, he is given a real assignment. The film follows Balthazar as he navigates these events, exploring the humor in left-wing pretentiousness.
