Summary
André Costais and his wife are a respectable middle class couple
who struggle in vain to impose their bourgeois standards on their
children. Do they even known what their precocious offspring get
up to when their watchful gaze is averted? One daughter is
a cover girl, the other is so well acquainted with the facts of life
that she is now pregnant, and their son is given to flings of
debauchery, when he isn’t threatening to blow the house up with his
chemistry set...
