A kaleidoscope of images from history populate this skillfully animated French feature. The story concerns a history professor whose ideas about human history cause him distress. Amid a flurry of newsreel-type images, Joan of Arc's trial is shown. Another theme which emerges is of two ages (in the far past and far future) in which naked humans fight one another with animalistic aggression.

When he meets some aristocratic young people at the resort, he tries to put over the fiction that he is of their class, with poor success.

"봄"은 현대 소설과 동등한 위치에 있는 보기 드문 작품이다. 수많은 비유와 유추, 자동 인용으로 가득 차 있는 "봄"은 신문을 오려내는 인간의 흥미와 다를 바 없는 구실에 지나지 않는다. 이 영화의 본질은 바르트가 카탈리시스, 즉 유인반응이라 불렀던 것으로 구성된다. 즉 모든 요소가 이야기의 부분적 요소로 작품과 직접적으로 연관되지 않고, 오히려 지연시키고 전복시키는 것이다. 아눙은 자신의 작품을 문학적 소설과 결별하고자 했고, 영화를 회화와 음악과 동등한 수준으로 만들고자 헌신해왔다.(도미니크 노게즈)

An off-beat, uneven tale about a man intent on suicide and the three people who try to talk him out of it, Pantalaskas stars American Carl Studer in the title role of the morose, would-be suicide. Set in Paris and taking place over an entire night, the story has a complication in that the trio who want to prevent the suicide do not speak the man's language -- he is Lithuanian and speaks no French. So the protagonists comb the underbelly of a nighttime Paris, looking high and low but mostly low for anyone who speaks Lithuanian. Depending mainly on dialogue for its impact, the verbose drama reveals how the protagonists undergo a transformation as the night wears on.
