Film Synopsis
After Algerian independence, a family of pieds-noirs attempt to make a new life for themselves in France. For the father, Albert Narboni, it is a painful period of readjustment. How he misses the old life as a grocer in the country he had loved all his life. His son Paul, a teenager about to experience his first taste of romance, is also unsettled by the move but is more optimistic about what the future may bring. First settling in Marseille, then moving onto Paris, the family makes several friends, but many of these turn out to be outright crooks. Gradually, they begin to settle down and adjust to their new life in France...© James Travers
