Parisian everyman Antoine Doinel has married his sweetheart Christine Darbon, and the newlyweds have set up a cozy domestic life of selling flowers and giving violin lessons while Antoine fitfully works on his long-gestating novel. As Christine becomes pregnant with the couple's first child, Antoine finds himself enraptured with a young Japanese beauty. The complications change the course of their relationship forever.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gently observant portrait of domestic life unraveling, where everyday routines and small temptations quietly erode a marriage's foundation. Truffaut watches his everyman hero stumble through desire and responsibility with more sorrow than judgment.
