Daniel Ceccaldi

Now married to Christine and working as a ‘floral artist’ (though he dreams of becoming a novelist), Antoine Doinel becomes a father... But is he mature enough for parenthood, or even marriage? Comedy combines with character critique in Truffaut’s typically ambivalent, compassionate account of the (belated) onset of Doinel’s adulthood.

Pierre, a renowned writer and editor, is caught up between his wife, Franca and his mistress Nicole. Things take a turn when Franca asks for a divorce.

Naively idealistic and largely inept both in his dealings with women and in any job, Antoine clumsily courts Christine while working for a private detective agency.
