About

In Rochefort, twin sisters Delphine and Solange dream of love and Paris as a weekend fair brings visitors including a sailor seeking his ideal woman.

In Rochefort, a caravan of trucks arrives on a Friday morning with the fair that will take place in the town square on Sunday. Delphine Garnier (Catherine Deneuve) teaches ballet to children while her twin sister Solange (Françoise Dorléac) accompanies the dancers on piano. The sisters live in Rochefort but dream of ideal love and a move to Paris, where Delphine wants to dance and Solange to compose. Their mother Yvonne (Danielle Darrieux) runs a café on the square; among her regular customers is Maxence (Jacques Perrin), a sailor who thinks of himself as a painter and poet and is searching for his ideal woman. Carnival workers Étienne (George Chakiris) and Bill (Grover Dale), who sell motorcycles, bicycles and boats, help set up. The cast also includes Gene Kelly as Andy Miller and Michel Piccoli as Simon Dame.
