Una storia americana

La storia

Paula Nelson (Anna Karina), una versione femminile dei detective hard boiled di Humphrey Bogart, va ad Atlantic City per incontrare il suo amante, Richard Politzer, in un punto sconosciuto del futuro (forse 1969). Una volta lì, viene a sapere che Richard è morto e decide di indagare sulla sua morte. Nella sua stanza d'albergo, incontra Typhus, che finisce per mettere fuori combattimento. Il suo cadavere viene poi trovato nell'appartamento di David Goodis (Yves Afonso), uno scrittore. Paula viene arrestata e interrogata. Da quel momento in poi, incontra molti gangster.
