Ferdinand (played by Jean Paul Belmondo) is enduring a bad marriage and has unfortunately been fired from his job. At a dull party, he meets his ex-girlfriend Marianne (played by Anna Karina), and they rekindle their romance. Fed up with everything, he decides to abandon his wife and children to escape with her. He follows Marianne to her apartment, where he discovers a corpse, and soon realizes that she is being pursued by gangsters. During their time together, Marianne gives Ferdinand a nickname: Pierrot. They drive south, committing various reckless acts along the way. When they arrive in France, their relationship begins to strain. Pierrot stops reading, thinking, and writing in his diary, while Marianne grows tired of this life and insists on returning to the city. They encounter gangsters in a nightclub, and in the chaos, they become separated. Pierrot frantically searches for Marianne, and they ultimately reunite. Marianne uses Pierrot to obtain a suitcase full of money, after which she leaves to find her real boyfriend – the brother she had mentioned several times. Pierrot shoots and kills Marianne and her boyfriend, paints his face blue, and straps explosives to himself. At the last moment, he regrets it and tries to extinguish the fuse but fails, leading to a huge explosion. This film was nominated for the Golden Lion at the 1965 Venice Film Festival.
