Antoine Doinel, the nonconforming teen from The 400 Blows, is now a 20-something who is dishonorably discharged from the army. He returns to Paris and attempts to kickstart his life. François Truffaut's short, funny, and charming comedy features an exuberant and likeable protagonist who displays amusing incompetence both professionally (whether he works as a night clerk, private detective, shoe salesman, or TV repairman) and in his romantic relationships.
