The story focuses on Bruno Forestier, played by Michel Subor, a young, disillusioned man who becomes involved in politics, yet in spite of the fact that he stands up to torture and commits murder because of this involvement, he does not have deep political beliefs. Also featured is his lover played by Anna Karina, the then-wife of director Jean-Luc and appearing in her first film, as a motivating factor in Bruno's behavior.
This early film, looked at in the context of Godard's later, more militant work, is at once naive and fascinating. Seen in sequence this film marks a definite step in his progression.
