A wry, intimate portrait of marriage's fragility and the mundane compromises of adult life, told with Truffaut's characteristic blend of romantic idealism and clear-eyed disillusionment.

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.
