In 1960's Paris, Jean-Luc Godard is the leading filmmaker of his generation. Hes shooting La Chinoise with the woman he loves. They are happy, attractive, in love. They marry. But the film's reception unleashes a profound self-examination in Jean-Luc. The events of May 68 will amplify this process, and the crisis that shakes the filmmaker in a wildly funny and deeply moving tribute to classic cinema from the Academy Award winning director of The Artist.
