Stolen Kisses

After having enlisted in the French army three years ago romanticizing the notion as being like in one of his favorite novels, Antoine Doinel is dishonorably discharged as being temperamentally unfit to serve. That dishonorable discharge limits what his future work/career prospects will be. Beyond work, he makes a point to reconnect with his old girlfriend Christine Darbonne and her supportive parents. That three year distance leads to a somewhat awkward resulting relationship where Christine in particular can't decide if they are still romantically involved, friends or not even friends. After a false start on at least a job obtained with the help of the Darbonnes, Antoine, solely by circumstance, ends up working for the Blany Detective Agency as a detective. As he works through case after case assigned to him by Blany, he will come to some conclusions as to certain paths on this phase of his life as his romanticism seems to pervade everything, including how he handles those cases.
