- Synopsis
- The fourth film in François Truffaut's quasi-autobiographical Antoine Doinel cycle finds the idealistic child-man (played by Truffaut's alter ego and French new wave icon Jean-Pierre Léaud) married to his sweetheart Christine (Claude Jade) and still plugging away at odd jobs. When his experiments in the florist trade burn his bouquets to a smoky black ruin, he decides that it's time for another trade, and lands a job sending radio-controlled toy boats around a miniature harbor mock-up. It's about that time that he learns of his impending fatherhood, but he throws a monkey wrench into his new happiness when he becomes obsessed with a beautiful young Japanese woman (Hiroku Berghauer).

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It is laced with little incidents, quirky characters, incisive insights and quintessentially French national traits of complacency"
-
"One of the loveliest, most intelligent movies we'll see in all of 1971."
-
"The film is entertaining and discreetly sentimental, though perhaps a little too flattering to the fantasies of the young adult audience."
