Antoine i Colette

Antoine and Colette is the second film - a short - in François Truffaut's series about Antoine Doinel. The film was made for the 1962 anthology collection, Love at Twenty, which featured five shorts directed by five directors from different countries. The film catches up with Antoine Doinel as a solitary 17-year-old who works at Phillips manufacturing LPs. He lives in furnished room by himself in Place Clichy, listening to opera and classical music and spending time with René, his school friend. One day, while attending a Berlioz Music Programme with René, he spots Colette, a secondary school student, and falls in love for the first time. Colette is his own age, but unlike Antoine has a warm, supportive family with whom she still lives. Antoine forms a strong friendship with Colette and, eventually, also her parents who begin to treat him as if he were a part of their family. But Colette still only regards him as a casual friend...
