Capricious small-town girl Juliette and barge captain Jean marry after a whirlwind courtship, and she comes to live aboard his boat, L'Atalante. As they make their way down the Seine, Jean grows weary of Juliette's flirtations with his all-male crew, and Juliette longs to escape the monotony of the boat and experience the excitement of a big city. When she steals away to Paris by herself, her husband begins to think their marriage was a mistake.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tender, poetic meditation on the friction between romantic idealization and domestic reality, told with whimsy and visual invention. Jean Vigo captures the ache of two people discovering they want incompatible versions of love.
