The Old Maid (French: La Vieille Fille) is a 1972 French comedy film directed by Jean-Pierre Blanc. It was entered into the 22nd Berlin International Film Festival where Blanc won the Silver Bear for Best Director.

Synopsis

Muriel (Annie Girardot) is a shy woman who bluffs and blusters around in order to hide her shyness and to protect her loneliness, even though she longs wistfully for a companion of some sort. She has been lonely so long that now she is an old maid and has never been wooed. But Muriel finally gets a glimpse of romance when Gabriel (Philippe Noiret) walks into the seaside hotel she is vacationing in. His car has broken down, and he has to stay there for a few days while it is repaired. Hers is the only dinner table with room at it, and Gabriel cannot prevent himself from charming women. She is stiff with him at first, but soon they develop a friendship.

Charlotte Castang is a working-class 13-year-old girl, who lives in a drab, run-down neighbourhood, and is ready to become an adult. She has been raised without a mother, and lives with her crass brother and her father, whose attention is elsewhere. Her only friend is Lulu, a sick 10-year-old pest she would like to be rid of. Charlotte is bored and dreams of a better life, and her life improves when she meets Clara Bauman, a pianist from the other side of the tracks, whom she admires. Charlotte wants to be friends with Clara, whom she sees as her ticket out of the area, while the sophisticated Clara jokingly suggests that Charlotte should become her manager.

Martin, onze ans, est un petit garçon très maladroit qui provoque de nombreuses catastrophes malgré lui. Cette année, il est invité par son copain Vincent à passer des vacances à la campagne avec ses parents à l'hôtel Nautilus. Avec leur bande de copains, ils vont mener une guerre sans merci contre une autre bande d'enfants, dont le crime est d'avoir investi le baobab, un arbre centenaire dans lequel une cabane est construite. Mais quand le baobab est menacé de destruction, c'est tous les enfants qui se ligueront, avec l'aide d'Étienne, l'étrange propriétaire de l'arbre. Dans la bataille, grâce à Étienne, Martin va prouver aux adultes qu'il n'est pas capable que de bêtises.
