Partie de campagne

Partie de campagne (pronounced [paʁ.ti də kɑ̃.paɲ]; English: A Day in the Country) is a French featurette that was written and directed by Jean Renoir in 1936, but not edited and released until 1946. It is based on the short story "Une partie de campagne" (1881) by Guy de Maupassant, who was a friend of Renoir's father, the renowned painter Auguste Renoir. The film chronicles a love affair over a summer afternoon in 1860, along the banks of the Seine.
