Intenely touching story of a misundertood young adolescent who left without attention, delves into a life of petty crime.
A young Parisian boy, Antoine Doinel, neglected by his derelict parents, skips school, sneaks into movies, run away from home, steals things, and tries (disastrously) to return them. Like most kids, he gets into more trouble for things he thinks are right than for his actual trespasses. Unlike most kids, he gets whacked with the big stick. He inhabits a Paris of dingy flats, seedy arcades, abandoned factories, and workaday streets, a city that seems big and full of possibilities only to a child's eye.
