About the film
The Young Girls of Rochefort at a glance.
Screen Path places this 1967 film at stop 256 in one curated journey through cinema. The learning experience adds context before you watch and deeper analysis after.
In the seaside town of Rochefort, twin sisters Delphine and Solange dream of love and artistic fulfillment beyond their quiet lives. As sailors, artists, musicians, and chance visitors pass through town during a weekend fair, a web of near-misses and romantic longing brings ideal partners tantalizingly close—without their realizing it.
