Historia
Pipe, a 60-year-old farmhand who has spent three decades working on the same property, finds himself at a loss when he discovers that his old-age insurance allowances enable him to retire comfortably. Unable to imagine life without work and with no family or friends to share his newfound freedom with, Pipe buys a moped and sets out to explore the countryside of the Swiss canton of Vaud, seeking a sense of carefree liberation he has never known before. Along the way, he encounters various people who challenge his rigid worldview and introduce him to new experiences, including female nudity that leaves him both intrigued and discomfited.
Resumen
'Les Petites Fugues' (1979) is a Swiss-French comedy-drama film directed by Yves Yersin, which explores the themes of retirement, freedom, and self-discovery through its titular character Pipe. The film showcases the Swiss countryside as Pipe embarks on his journey of personal growth, challenging societal norms and expectations regarding aging and masculinity. Although it contains moments of female frontal nudity, these scenes are contextualized within the broader narrative of Pipe's evolution and serve to illustrate his naivety and curiosity regarding the world beyond his familiar rural existence.
