The film stars the director’s soon-to-be ex-wife, Anna Karina, as a private investigator (Paula Nelson) searching for her missing boyfriend, Richard P. (a victim of assassination or political intrigue never fully explained), and the deliberately labyrinthine plot follows a trail of dead bodies, cartoon-like violence, and a deluge of leftist rhetoric--no doubt informed by the turbulent events of late-‘60s France.
