Film Synopsis
In 1914, 16-year-old Roger spends his summer holidays at the family
château in the country. Here he amuses himself watching the
coming and goings of the people around him. His fun is curtailed
when war is declared and all able-bodied men are called up. In their
absence, Roger becomes a busy lover, happily seducing all the women in
the area. When the men return from the war numerous marriages
ensue, so that the many babies resulting from Roger's amorous escapades
can take a legitimate name. Meanwhile, Roger is back in Paris,
resuming his studies...
