Storyline
| Plot Summary |
This short film is the first segment of five in the multinational feature Love at Twenty (1962), all five segments on the theme of first adult love. After indulging in much delinquency in his youth, seventeen year old Antoine Doinel, having been provided opportunity to get out of that delinquent life, is now an upstanding member of society working for Philips Records, which allows him to indulge in his love of music. At the Youth Concerts, he has noticed the same young woman at several performances, she who he would like to get to know. She is Colette, the two who do begin to date. Colette treats Antoine like a buddy, while Antoine has fallen in love with her. His pursuit of getting Colette to be his exclusive girlfriend is helped on the surface in the fact that Colette's parents like him and encourage their dating. He uses grand romantic gestures to try and prove his love. Will Colette ultimately fall under Antoine's romanticism? Written by Huggo |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | This short is a largely autobiographical work, based on 17-year-old François Truffaut's infatuation with the unconventional beauty Liliane Litvin. Truffaut met Litvin at the Cinémathèque Française and quit his job as a welder and moved to Paris to be near her. Like Antoine, he took an apartment across the street from hers so that he could monitor her activities. However, she ultimately was not interested in him nor in any of his friends. (She had attracted attention from Jean Gruault and Jean-Luc Godard.) See more » |

The youth of the world, They fall in love, From east to west from north to south, Like a red apple, They bite into life, Its juice overflows from their mouth, Kisses and heartaches, Meet and then part, Give me your hand - here - take my heart, It might end in pain, It might end in joy, Tender and cruel, Youth's dreams are many, As two by two, Down life's beck'ning road, They sing their way, In Love At Twenty See more » |
