Una pelota blanca de ping-pong va flotando por un riachuelo hasta que la encuentra Bilgee, un niño de Mongolia. Su abuela le dice que es una perla resplandeciente que ha caído del cielo. Él se cree la historia y se pasa toda la noche en la pradera con sus dos mejores amigos: Ergotor, que no sabe montar a caballo, pero sabe conducir una moto, y Dawaa, que es muy pequeño, pero nunca se rinde. Sin embargo no llegan a ver el ansiado resplandor de la pelota y todo lo que consiguen es que sus padres les den una paliza cuando regresan a casa.

Directors Jean-Henri Roger and Juliet Berto begin this thriller with sequences on the contemporary politics of southern France and the infiltration of organised crime into real estate development there: crime bosses were torching forest tracts to make way for their development schemes in the early 1980s. In the fictionalised story, Paula Barretto is caught in this underworld because her father was involved in the drug business, her brother is in the real estate scam, and her lover is an armed thief. Although she tries to get out of her corrupt and dangerous environment, it is not an easy task when even the police officers cannot be trusted, and the underworld has informants everywhere.

Sobre todo a causa del pasado, del carácter del muchacho, de su perpetua rebeldía que, a pesar de todos sus esfuerzos, Jeanne no ha logrado apaciguar... Los recuerdos de Jeanne son filmados en color y el presente en blanco y negro. Guy Gilles, el director, eligió esta opción para marcar con más fuerza la muerte presente del amor de Jeanne por Jean.

Director Jean Delannoy's immediate followup to his brilliant Les Jeux sont Faits was the more conventional Aux Yeux du Souvenir (aka Souvenir and To the Eyes of Memory). The film is based on a true story, wherein an France airliner managed to survive a journey from Rio De Janeiro to Dakar with two of its engines incapacitated. To this already intensely dramatic situation has been added a romantic subplot involving Claire Magny (Michele Morgan) and Jacques Forester (Jean Marais). The love story adds very little to the film; fortunately, neither does it detract from the film's overall quality. As was the case with many French productions of the 1940s, Aux Yeux du Souvenir benefits immeasurably from the Wagnerian musical score by Georges Auric.
