La Chinoise is a loose adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's 1872 novel The Possessed. In the novel, a group of five disaffected citizens, each representing a different ideological persuasion and personality type, conspire to overthrow the Russian imperial regime through a campaign of sustained revolutionary violence. The film, set in contemporary Paris and largely taking place in a small apartment, is structured as a series of personal and ideological dialogues dramatizing the interactions of five French university students — three young men and two young women — belonging to a radical Maoist group called the "Aden Arabie Cell" (named for the novel, Aden, Arabie, by Paul Nizan).

On a dit du cinéma qu’il était une usine à rêves… Côté rêves, il y a un metteur en scène : Gaspard Bazin qui prépare son film et fait des essais pour recruter des figurants. Côté usine, il y a Jean Almereyda, le producteur qui a eu son heure de gloire et qui a de plus en plus de mal à réunir des capitaux pour monter ses affaires. Entre eux, il y a Eurydice, la femme d’Almereyda, qui voudrait être actrice. Tandis qu’Almereyda cherche de l’argent pour boucler le financement du film, et cela au péril de sa vie – car l’argent qu’on lui promet n’a pas très bonne odeur –, Gaspard fait des essais avec Eurydice.

The film does not tell a story so much as present an essay-like study of Godard's view of contemporary life; Godard wrote that "I wanted to include everything: sports, politics, even groceries. Everything should be put in a film". Godard himself narrates the film in a whispered voice-over that discusses his fears to the audience about the contemporary world, including the Vietnam War. The film often cuts to various still shots of bright consumer products and ongoing construction.

The film stars Jean-Pierre Léaud as Paul, a romantic young idealist and literary lion-wannabe who chases budding pop star, Madeleine (Chantal Goya, a real life Yé-yé girl). Despite markedly different musical tastes and political leanings, the two soon become romantically involved and begin a ménage à quatre with Madeleine's two roommates, Catherine (Catherine-Isabelle Duport) and Elisabeth (Marlène Jobert). The camera probes the young actors in a series of vérité-style interviews about love, love-making, and politics.
