Through his love of cinema, he comes into a rapid friendship with a French woman, Isabelle, (Eva Green) and her brother, Theo (Louis Garrel). All 3 have a severe love for movies, especially "the classics". As their friendship grows, Pitt learns of the extreme intimateness shared by the siblings and gets pulled into their world. Over time he falls in love with them and the three of them seclude themselves from the world falling further and further from the reality of the 1968 student riots.
