Handed over to foster care by his mother—who's unwilling to give up permanent custody—the now-adolescent François understands that nothing in life is permanent, and his increasingly erratic actions reflect this knowledge.
Easy to read as a bitter rebuke to The 400 Blows, but this tragic film traces its own path and is mining its own demons, similar to Pialat's own purposeful diversions from the New Wave
