Antoine Doinel, now in his thirties, is amicably divorcing his wife, Christine, while enjoying success as a novelist and still clinging to his romantic fantasies. After falling for a record store clerk, the indecisive Antoine impulsively takes off with an old flame and confronts his chaotic past.

A character created by French auteur François Truffaut, Antoine Doinel is here portrayed as the ultimate intellectual womanizer. Running to the four corners of Paris to escape from (or fall into) his many lovers’ arms, this is Jean-Pierre Léaud at his best, starring alongside Marie-France Pisier.
