After writing for Cahiers du cinema, a young Jean-Luc Godard (Guillaume Marbeck) decides making films is the best film criticism. He convinces producer Georges de Beauregard (Bruno Dreyfürst) to fund a low budget feature, and creates a treatment with fellow New Wave filmmaker François Truffaut (Adrien Rouyard) about a gangster couple. The result? Breathless, one of the first features of the Nouvelle Vague era of French cinema.
