During the Algerian War, a French agent is ordered to assassinate a member of the National Liberation Front of Algeria (FLN), but cannot complete the mission due to his involvement with a pro-FLN woman. Shot in 1960 but not released until 1963 due to a French ban on torture scenes, thus Godard's second feature film, but fourth to be released.
