...home because he psychologically cannot escape from his father and brings with him his friend Paul (Michel Piccolt) a philosophy professor. Paul soon learns that Theo has tried to freeze all life on his estate as it was in the fall of 1925. Theo's young wife Helene (Marlene Jobert), whom he picked to become his bridge while she was still a child dresses in twenties style and is chauffeured about in an elderly limousine. Charles too is impressed into this pattern of dress and life, and into total submission to the father. Theo wants to make the finest moment...

Was the phone call really from an S.A.O. man? Could Pierre Chateau-Jobert, though supposed to be Argoud's rival for leadership of the foundering S.A.O., really have betrayed a comrade in this...
