The film"s page
Alain Leroy vient de sortir d’une clinique de désintoxication de Versailles. Dandy spectral et alcoolique, il rencontre par hasard Lydia, une amie de son ex-femme, avec qui il passe la nuit. Mais le cœur n’y est plus, personne ne peut le sauver. Dégoûté de lui-même et de la vie, il se donne vingt-quatre heures avant de se suicider. Il décide de consacrer ses dernières heures aux fantômes de son passé et part à la rencontre de ses anciens camarades de débauche.
Note : Le Feu follet est l’adaptation du roman éponyme de Pierre Drieu la Rochelle, publié en 1931.
