Adieu Philippine is Rozier's first feature and has some clear resemblances to Du côté d'Orouët – the celebration of youth, music, giggling girls, etc, and is also a rare instance of the Algerian war being mentioned. The title is a 'secret' coded reference to the two starring girls – Juliette (Stefania Sabatini) and Liliane (Yveline Céry) – deciding which is the one to go out with television worker Michel (Jean-Claude Aimini).
Michel decides to go to Corsica and is surprised that the girls have followed him, which is another excuse for more frivolity and camping in the mountains before he has to return to the mainland to begin his military service in Algeria.
