This is, of course, an issue of crucial importance to all Americans, and in fact to all the world, but the class of 1968 faces it with painful immediacy.

When the boy decides to tour Europe, his meddle-class mother (Debbie Reynolds) decides to fill the generation gap by taking a house in France for the summer...
