The 400 Blows

In composition class, Antoine (played by Jean-Pierre Léaud) graffitied on the image of a woman sent by his classmates and was punished to stand in the corner. After class, Antoine, who was alone in the classroom, wrote poems on the wall to vent his dissatisfaction, which made the teacher (Guy Decomble) even more angry. In the evening, her mother (played by Claire Maurier) was furious because Antoine did not buy flour, and her stepfather (played by Albert Rémy) gave Antoine a sum of money to eat lunch at his request. The next day, Antoine skipped school at the instigation of his classmate Rene (Patrick Auffay), went to watch movies and play games, and saw his mother kissing a man Antoine didn't know on the street. On the third day, Antoine returned to school. In a panic, he lied about the death of his mother and gained the teacher's forgiveness and love. Unexpectedly, his stepfather found out about his truancy, so he rushed to school with his mother, exposed his lies, and slapped him twice in front of the whole class. Antoine decided to leave a letter and run away from home. But where can he go at such a young age? Paris is so big and France is so big, where can he rest?
