A writer falls in and out of love with his wife after he agrees to help adapt a film of The Odyssey.
The parallel between the plot and that of Homer is rather vague, and generally forsaken for filming of the curvaceous Brigitte Bardot, in what is probably a deliberate satire by Godard, but also a rather laboured one at that.
