La jetée (v.f.) / Janus Films ; Argos-Films présente ; avec la participation du Service de la Trouvaille de la R.T.F. ; un photo-roman de Chris Marker.

Summary:

While at the Orly Airport observation deck, a boy sees a man shot. Shortly afterwards World War III breaks out and Paris is destroyed by nuclear weapons. As one of the survivors, the now grown man is chosen as part of an experiment in time travel because he has a strong grasp on a moment in the past--the image of the man being shot at the airport. He is successfully sent back in time. But once in the past, he falls in love with a girl, and defies orders to return and be with her.
