His life has to go on, but he is already summing up, using a lot of memory fragments, overflowing with emotions. Antoine's writing of his own experience into a novel is accidental and logical. Interestingly he also reads Colette's Claudine series.

This story is compared to Rohmer (who is also mentioned directly in the middle), less light than Rohmer, and more of the stupidity peculiar to Antoine Doinel. Several dialogues are playing word games, not smart but fun, in line with the male protagonist. Several heroines are also very cute, especially Sabine played by Dorothée, who looks happy in Snoopy pajamas at the beginning. The overall feeling is a bit over the top, inserting too many scenes from Truffaut's own previous films (some of them are not from the character of Antoine Doinel, but from other films played by Jean-Pierre Léaud), which is a bit too much. And the scene where the male protagonist's two exs meet at the door of the current house makes people feel that this is not only the narcissism of the characters themselves, but that the director helps the characters to externalize this narcissistic plot. The ending turned out to be two pairs (three pairs if you count the customers who came to the disc store) with different lovers reuniting. The love scene could end so easily and successfully that I couldn't give a high score.
