Two men are driving a refuse truck to a dump site and stop for a hamburger. Krassky (Dallesandro), one of the two, strikes an acquaintance with Johnny (Birkin) the girl who works in the restaurant. They swiftly become lovers. However, Krassky's fellow truck-driver, Padovan (Quester), is also his lover, and he becomes intensely and insanely jealous... The first feature film directed by notorious musician Serge Gainsbourg, inspired by his controversial 1969 song of the same name, and starring his then wife Birkin, Je t'aime exhibits many of the same sexual explorations and provocations as his music. While the film flopped upon its initial release, it has since gained a cult reputation and gained unexpected admirers such as François Truffaut.
