When the story begins, Jeanne is at a party where she meets Natacha. They talk for a bit and Jeanne mentions how she is temporarily unable to use her apartment and she hates to stay at her boyfriend's place when he is away. Soon, Natacha asks Jeanne home and she agrees. The two seem to get along just fine, though as the story progresses, it seems that Natacha has some serious issues with women--in particular, he mother and her father's girlfriends (the parents are divorced). It also seems possible that Natacha has a plan--to try to get her new friend Jeanne and her father together.
While I do not expect films to have happy endings, I do expect that by the end there would be some sense of resolution or at least an indication as to where the story would go. However, in "A Tale of Springtime", the film just seems to end--and this frustrated me to no end. This is because the film really had some fine acting, nice camera-work and the basic things needed for an interesting story...but then, nothing! It's a shame, as with a more well-defined ending, I would have scored this one a 7 or even 8. The basic story was very nice--it just seemed like when they ran out of film, they just ended the story! And, with several important points unresolved, it was a bad way to end it.
