Curiosidades
This is, perhaps, the film in which Rohmer - notoriously silent about his private life - came closest to autobiography, filling the story with discrete traces and allusions to his own past. "Of all the films I've made, I think this is the most personal vehicle. Everything that is in this film is true. They are either things that I experienced in my youth or things that I noticed. [...] I have carried with me the story of this film, which was in part inspired by events that occurred during my adolescence, for a long time."
Antoine de Baecque & Noël Herpe, "Éric Rohmer: A Biography" (New York: Columbia University Press, 2016), p. 458.

An excellent reflection on the value of friendship compared to that of light romances

I'd say this film is an essay, regarding shyness, relations with the opposite sex, friendship and love. Being only based on the dialogues between different people, it's full of substance, and will definitely ask the viewer to think on the matter. I liked it so much because the people were real, the problem was real. Lots of people suffer problems of integration and self-achievement next to others and these have been thoroughly dealt with in the film.

Its main problems are how much is worth a summer romance next to a sincere friendship, and the importance of knowing exactly one's feelings and purposes (do I love her, or do I not ? Am I merely trying to have fun?).

In the end, we are faced with a line addressed to the main character that we can take for ourselves: "it was your own choice, think about it".

That's the main message: the director presents a problem, the dialogues delve deeply in several of its aspects but the conclusion of why things turned out as they did is left to us. In short, the viewer will certainly learn something from it, and that can even lead to deeper self-reflections on one's personal life. A valuable film, and an interesting lesson. Especially good for young people afraid of not finding that special one.
