Film Synopsis
In an old bourgeois building in the heart of Paris there lives a ten-year-old boy, Roger Palazzi, who has been brought up only by women: his mother Nicole, his grandmother Minou and his great-grandmother Génia. The Palazzis are a family of Italian aristocrats who were expelled from Egypt in the early days of the Republic. The women of the family are all a little nostalgic about the splendour of their past. Only Nicole goes out to work. Tired of being smothered with feminine affection, Roger desperately wants to escape from this matriarchal household.© James Travers
