For young Parisian boy Antoine Doinel, life is one difficult situation after another. Surrounded by inconsiderate adults, including his neglectful parents, Antoine spends his days with his best friend, Rene, trying to plan for a better life. When one of their schemes goes awry, Antoine ends up in trouble with the law, leading to even more conflicts with unsympathetic authority figures.
A restless, sun-drenched melancholy hangs over the streets of Paris as a misunderstood boy navigates the suffocating rules of adulthood. This intimate portrait captures the frantic energy of youth fighting to stay afloat in a world that refuses to listen.
