Now on the run, Michel gets to Paris, where he tries to get his money and tries to get closer to Patricia, an American studying at the Sorbonne and selling the New York Herald Tribune on the streets of the city of lights.
A classic film that helped usher in the "French New Wave", director Jean-Luc Godard mixes dialogue improvisation, beautiful locations and a love of cinematic history.
