It is his rather free-form rumination on the contemporary youth of 1966, featuring numerous monologues where characters express their thoughts on what it is to be young. Creator/JeanPierreLeaud stars as a young man of 21 who has just completed his 18 months of compulsory service in the French army. He is spending time with Madeline, a fashion model who is branching out into pop music and has a single on the verge of release. Eventually they start a relationship, one which eventually includes Madeline's roommates Catherine and Elisabeth. All of the above is really just a framework on which to hang Godard's thoughts on youth and desire.

* TheOner: A very uncomfortable scene has Paul, offscreen, interviewing an extremely pretty but vapid young woman. Over the course of the conversation he fires questions at her both personal (asking her about birth control) and political (asking her to name all the places in the world where Paul and Madeline go into a cafe to talk about their relationship, only to be interrupted by a couple of dudes reading out loud from a pornographic magazine, there are wars going on). It runs three six minutes without a cut.and the camera never moves.
