What happens

Antoine and Colette (French: Antoine et Colette) is a 1962 French short film written and directed by François Truffaut. It is the second installment in Truffaut's five-film series about Antoine Doinel, the character he follows from boyhood to adulthood. Antoine and Colette was made for the 1962 anthology collection Love at Twenty, which also featured shorts from directors Shintarô Ishihara, Marcel Ophüls, Renzo Rossellini and Andrzej Wajda. Antoine Doinel—and Jean-Pierre Léaud, the actor who played him in all five films—had made his screen debut in 1959 with Truffaut's first film, The 400 Blows. Truffaut's tender, semi-autobiographical film about the young Antoine and his gradual descent into petty crime had introduced the world to the French New Wave, a highly influential outpouring of work from young filmmakers such as Jean-Luc Godard, Agnès Varda, Claude Chabrol and Éric Rohmer.
