Jean-Pierre Melville's first directorial effort in 1946 follows a clown and his partner, who find inspiration one day in the streets for their performance in the circus that night. Blending touches of surrealism, humor, and quotidian observation of daily life, Melville’s early short foreshadowed the irreverent charm and experimentation that would transform French cinema in the coming decades.
