Lucien is a teenager in a French village in the 1960s. His father, Jacques, is the local schoolteacher whose quirky behavior amuses his classmates but embarrasses Lucien. Andre, a friend of the father's, notices Lucien's shame and decides to tell him the reason for his father's clown-like behavior. The plot takes us back to a tragi-comic tale set in the days of WWII and the German occupation
