Working class couple Antoine and Antoinette dream of a better life. In the midst of constantly fending off the unwanted attention of men, Antoinette purchases a winning lottery ticket. But when Antoine loses their ticket, their dreams seem like they’ll remain just that.

From French auteur Jacques Becker comes the utterly charming farce Antoine and Antoinette. A working-class romance in the post-war, but also a bitter reflection on life and the (im)possibility of dreams, the film oscillates between Jean Renoir’s 1930s cinema and the upcoming New Wave.
