This film is Godard's work after "Break Out". Because of its sensitive content, it was involved in the activities of France in the 1960s to support the regime in Algeria. It was banned for a time. Bruno in the film obviously has Godard's own shadow (identity, environment, ideals are similar), the director wants to satirize the so-called political duality (left or right) through this little figure who swings on political ideals, which actually depends on people All that is needed is a different attitude, Godard's own political stance. The style of the film is the same as "Out of breath", using free methods such as irregular cuts and jumps, typical of Godard's films

Veronica Dreyer: Snapshots taken around the world pass before me like a bad dream. Panama. Rome. Alexandria. Budapest. Paris. The bad dream continues. "We went off to war like schoolboys to school." So began one Bernano's novels. I remember the title: Humiliated Children. I relit my cigarette. I feel like one of those schoolboys this morning. Why? Perhaps asking questions is more important than coming up with answers.

Bruno Forestier: I've become a coward. It's strange. When I look at my own face, it's like it doesn't match who I feel I am from inside.
