Truffaut's first feature-length film met with great approval from his critics. A somewhat autobiographical story of Truffaut's own childhood, The 400 Blows tells the story of Antoine Doinel, a 14-year-old schoolboy. Antoine is not a good student and always seems to be in trouble at school. At home he is disregarded by his parents, who have better things to do. He starts to play truant and spends a lot of his time in cinemas of Paris, but his parent will not tolerate the behaviour of an uruly child.
