action

After three years in the USA, François, Gérard Vasseur's son, returned to France to live with his family. His father Gérard is a pharmacist and is opposed to his wife's candidacy for mayor's office. When an anonymous letter reveals ugly secrets of the past, the upper-class facade of the Charpin-Vasseur family begins to crumble. At the same time, the affection between François and his stepsister Michèle flares up again. Tante Line supports the young lovers and hides a secret ...

criticism

Lexicon of international films : “A mildly age-wise variant of his favorite topic of the decadence of the bourgeoisie, presented by Claude Chabrol with a subtle smile, to which he opposes an innocent, young love as a bearer of hope. Photographed without frills and played by an ensemble that was convincing right down to the supporting roles, the film entertains in an intelligent, subtle way. "
