The hero will not hesitate to betray his class, to become a "yellow," until a revolutionary illumination opens his eyes.
The Incident: The film is released in several film theatres of Marseille. After several screenings, the police arrive, take hold of the prints and put them under sequestration.
Results of Incident: In 1988: by miracle the impounded prints are found. Le Rendez-vous des quais is screened at the French Cinematheque in the program Ecrans de la liberte.
