Newly arrived in Paris, Galia lives in a small apartment near Notre-Dame cathedral. One evening, whilst walking along the banks of the River Seine, she saves a young woman from drowning. The woman, Nicole, tells Galia that she intended to drown herself, having left a suicide note for her husband, Greg. Having settled Nicole in her apartment, Galia sets out to recover the suicide note, but waits so that she can observe Greg’s reaction. When Greg appears unmoved by the note, Galia decides to wait for him at the art gallery where he works…
'Galia' is the name of this film's lead girl, performed by Mireille Darc. It deals in its bottom line with a well-known 1960-s theme: young adults breaking away from the attitude to life they had been taught. Developing their own style & morals, favored by the wealth their parents had created. As well as by the new availability of anti conceptive.
Based on this bottom line, 'Galia' delivers a pretty tense story about a complicated love-triangle. Well told, well acted and well shot, all in a true mid 1960-s style.
Being 27 at the time, Mireille Darc acted out an independent young woman - back then a groundbreaking theme. It provided the definitive break-through in her career.
