FR. Dijon 1954. Une famille bourgeoise parmi d'autres. Le pere est gynecologue et particulierement absorbe par son travail. La mere est gaie et legere, les trois fils sans histoires. Laurent le plus jeune est particulierement intelligent et souffre de son statut d'adolescent. Atteint d'un souffle au coeur il part en cure avec sa mere. Un tendre marivaudage s'instaure entre eux qui aboutira a l'inceste.
EN. This is a jolly coming-of-age story about a 14-year-old boy named Laurent Chevalier who is growing up in bourgeois surroundings in Dijon, France. This is France in the mid-1950s rather than America in the 1990s. Thus, Laurent is unharmed by events which would irreparably shatter the self-esteem of a modern American adolescent: he gets drunk, he smokes, he has sex, he is smothered by his mother, he is ignored by his father, a priest makes a pass at him, he gets rheumatoid fever, etc. There's enough scandalous behavior in this film to make 100 made-for-TV movies, and yet this is a very happy and oddly innocent tale.
