In the first of Éric Rohmer’s film cycle “Tales of the Four Seasons,” a young high school teacher, Jeanne, is invited to crash at the home of a piano student, Natasha, because Natasha’s dad spends many nights away with his young girlfriend Eve (whom Natasha despises). Jeanne accepts the invitation but soon suspects that she is being set up by Natasha to replace Eve in her father’s life.
