...quite seriously: his priest-teacher, while lecturing him on masturbation, puts his hands around Laurent's thigh; Laurent jealously discovers that his mother has a lover, and then discovers that his doctor-father doesn't seem to care. ("You have to be a saint in this profession," says the gynecologist, but we suspect he's not about to be canonized.) And when, after being hauled off to a roadhouse-brothel by his brothers, Laurent has a small measure of success with a prostitute, his drunken brothers spoil it all by bursting into the room to drag him from...
Laurent (Benoit Ferreux) is the youngest son of a prosperous Dijon gynecologist (Daniel Gelin) and his Italian wife (Lea Massari).

The staff has enough general practitioners well-qualified for gynecological practice to take care of gynecological exams, pap tests and minor infections for Harvard's 13.000 women. "But," he said, "I'm already booked halfway through May." A recurring criticism of the present set-up at the Health Services is that women can rarely see Dr. Sturgis without waiting several weeks for an appointment...
