Spoiled Children

A 1970s French comedy-drama about creative crisis and social awakening, where a middle-aged artist's isolation leads him into both political activism and a transgressive romance with a younger woman.

Successful writer/director Bernard Rougerie is at a creative dead end and decides to isolate himself from his wife in order to complete the script for his next film. Bernard moves into an apartment building whose tenants are in the midst of a revolt against their abusive landlord. Reluctant at first, he joins their cause and then becomes involved in an affair with young, unemployed resident Anne.
