Antoine Doinel, a misunderstood Parisian schoolboy, drifts through neglect at home and harsh treatment at school. As small acts of rebellion and a petty theft spiral out of his control, he is pushed further from family and into the grip of juvenile authorities, searching for a freedom he can barely name.
