The movie is about a wandering criminal (Jean- Paul Belmondo) and his American girlfriend (Jean Seberg). It was Godard's frst feature length work and represented Belmondo's breakthrough as an actor. The flm was one of the earliest, most infuential examples of French New Wave (nouvelle vague) cinema.
