French short adaptation of Herman Melville's classic. The employee of a lawyer is in a mental hospital following a scandal. Some time later, he finds his employer.
This bitter and ironic satire illustrates the universal problems with youth and their revolt against the bourgeois establishment. The man becomes a symbolic victim of what he is protesting and resigns himself to a gloomy future with bleak prospects for humankind. This directorial debut for Jean Pierre Lajournade was well received at the 1970 Mannheim Film Festival.
