Film Synopsis
Maurice Decques was born in the 20th
arrondissement of Paris, the son of an American anarchist and Communist
locksmith. He looks back on the major events of his life, from
the 1930s to 1955 - his childhood, his parents' political battles, the
people he used to know in his neighbourhood, his meeting with Alain
Bombard, and his taste for adventure which propelled him into his
working life and his marriage. Overall, he concludes, it hasn't
been a bad life...
