Film Synopsis
Martin is an energetic 11-year-old boy who has a knack of getting himself
into trouble, despite his good intentions. This year, he has been invited
by his friend Vincent to spend his summer holidays with him and his family
at a posh hotel in the country. As always, Vincent intends spending
the holidays in the company of his gang in a hut they have erected in an
ancient tree. Imagine the boy's outrage when he discovers that his
precious tree-house, nicknamed Le Baobab, has been taken over by another
gang of boys from a nearby summer camp. When the tree-house is threatened
with being demolished, the boys forget their differences and agree to work
together to save it, with the help of Étienne, a strange man who turns
out to be the tree's owner. By exercising his cunning and resourcefulness,
Martin finally has a chance to prove that he is capable of doing good things,
if and when the occasion arises...
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
