At 5:00 p.m. beautiful French pop star Cléo learns that she will know the results of a stomach cancer test at 7:00 p.m. In the intervening hours she wanders the streets of Paris, encountering a fortune teller, her song composers, a model friend, and a soldier, and indulging in existential reflection. With cameos by Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina.
