Boyfriends and Girlfriends is a French romantic comedy film directed by Eric Rohmer and released in 1987. The film follows the lives of two young women living in the middle-class Parisian suburbs: Blanche and Lea. Blanche is an office worker who lives alone, while Lea is a student and has been in a long-term relationship with Fabien.
As the story unfolds, Blanche develops a crush on Lea's friend Alexandre, a handsome and witty young man. Despite her attraction to him, she is too nervous and tongue-tied to talk to him whenever they meet. Meanwhile, Lea is struggling with her own relationship with Fabien and begins to consider leaving him.
When Lea goes on holiday, Blanche takes the opportunity to get to know Fabien better and learns that he is not as unappealing as she had originally thought. As her feelings for him grow, she begins to realize that Alexandre is not the perfect man she had imagined him to be, and that she may have been wrong about Fabien all along.
The film is a classic moral tale by Eric Rohmer, exploring the complexities of romantic relationships and the importance of honesty and communication. It is a light-hearted and charming comedy that speaks to the universal experience of falling in love and learning to navigate the challenges that come with it.
