エリック・ロメール監督が、対照的な2人の少女レネットとミラベルが体験する不思議な出来事を、4つのエピソードでつづった短編オムニバス。自転車のパンクをきっかけに知り合った2人が、夜明け前に訪れる無音の瞬間を体験するべく奮闘する第1話「青い時間」、パリで同居生活をはじめた2人と奇妙なカフェ店員とのやり取りを描いた第2話「カフェのボーイ」、犯罪や良心について対話を繰り広げる第3話「物乞い　窃盗常習犯　女詐欺師」、家賃を稼ぐためレネットが描いた絵を売ろうと奔走する第4話「絵の売買」で構成。ロメール監督はレネット役のジョエル・ミケルの体験談に着想を得て本作を企画し、少人数のスタッフと16ミリフィルムで撮影を敢行した。

An omnibus of four short episodes by director Eric Rohmer, chronicling the curious encounters of two contrasting young women, Reinette and Mirabelle. In the first episode, "The Blue Hour," the two—who met after a flat bicycle tire—strive to experience the moment of absolute silence that occurs just before dawn. The second episode, "The Waiter," depicts their interactions with a peculiar cafe server after they begin living together in Paris. The third episode, "The Beggar, the Kleptomaniac, and the Swindler," features a series of dialogues concerning crime and conscience. The film concludes with the fourth episode, "Selling the Painting," in which they scramble to sell one of Reinette’s artworks to cover their rent. Rohmer conceived the project based on the personal anecdotes of Joëlle Miquel, who plays Reinette, and filmed it on 16mm with a minimal crew.
