Ferdinand (played by Jean-Paul Belmondo) is enduring a bad marriage and is unfortunate enough to be fired from his job. He meets his ex-girlfriend Marianne (played by Anna Karina) at a dull party, and old flames are rekindled. Tired of everything, he decides to abandon his wife and child to escape with her. He follows Marianne to her apartment, where he discovers a corpse and soon realizes she is being pursued by gangsters. During their time together, Marianne gives Ferdinand a nickname: Pierrot. They drive south, engaging in a spree of violence along the way. As they arrive in France, their relationship begins to strain. Pierrot stops reading, thinking, and writing in his journal, and Marianne also grows weary of this lifestyle, insisting they return to the city. They encounter gangsters at a nightclub, and in the chaos, they become separated. Pierrot desperately searches for Marianne, and they eventually reunite. Marianne uses Pierrot to get a suitcase full of money, then flees to find her true boyfriend—her brother, whom she had mentioned several times before. Pierrot shoots and kills Marianne and her boyfriend, paints his face blue, and straps himself with explosives. At the last moment, he regrets it, trying to extinguish the fuse, but fails, causing the explosives to detonate with a bang. This film was nominated for the Golden Lion at the 1965 Venice Film Festival.
