First sentence: Francois Truffaut's famous film, Jules et Jim, which depicts a fiery love triangle between a young French writer, a German poet, and a seductive yet troubled femme fatale from the belle epoque until 1933, captures the volatile dynamic that has characterized the French-German symbiosis throughout many centuries.
