Short description

Félicie and Charles meet during a summer holiday and begin a romance, but a mix-up over their addresses causes them to lose touch. Five years later, around Christmas, Félicie lives in a cold Paris with her mother and her young daughter, a reminder of that summer. She divides her time between Maxence, a hairdresser, and Loïc, a librarian, but her memories of Charles keep her from committing fully to either man.

A Tale of Winter was directed by Éric Rohmer, who also wrote the screenplay, with Margaret Ménégoz producing. It is the eleventh of the thirteen films Rohmer directed in chronological order, following A Tale of Springtime and preceding A Summer's Tale. Charlotte Véry plays Félicie, Frédéric van den Driessche plays Charles, Michel Voletti plays Maxence, Hervé Furic plays Loïc, Ava Loraschi plays Elise and Christiane Desbois plays the mother, among a credited cast of twenty-one. The film runs 114 minutes.

On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 7.8 out of 10 from 23 reviews, while on TMDB it has a rating of 7 out of 10 from 184 votes. Released in France in January 1992, it is a drama and romance set largely in Paris, and forms part of Rohmer's series of seasonal tales.
