The Little Soldier (Le petit soldat) is a 1963 (filmed 1960) French drama directed by Jean-Luc Godard. The story is set during the Algerian War. A French journalist Bruno Forestier (Michel Subor) lives in Switzerland. He works for French right-wing organisation, but once he is suspected to be a double agent. To prove his innocence, Forestier must kill a pro-FLN (National Liberation Front of Algeria) activist. Meanwhile, Forestier falls in love with Veronica Dreyer (Anna Karina), who also appears to be tied to the FLN.
