At the Edge of Dreamland | Jewish Book Council
Birds speak Yiddish, trees dream, walking canes converse, an egg can give eternal life, a person can fly with the feather of a Bird of Paradise, an angel is inexplicably exiled from Heaven, a pious rabbi’s soul is imprisoned in a stone… Seemingly lighthearted fables can also be seen as dark allegory; with themes of wandering, suffering, victimization, helplessness, and the fickleness of Fate (or the Universe, or God).

I read this short story by Guy de Maupassant because I have plans to watch the film with a friend of mine who’s also learning French.
The film appears to have an interesting little history. According to Wikipedia:
Partie de campagne is a 1936 French featurette written and directed by Jean Renoir. It was released as A Day in the Country in the United States. The film 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. It chronicles a love affair over a single summer afternoon in 1860 along the banks of the Seine.
Renoir never finished filming due to weather problems, but producer Pierre Braunberger turned the material into a release in 1946, ten years after it was shot. Joseph Burstyn released the film in the U.S. in 1950.
