Summer of 1937 in the South of France. Three generations of aristocrats from Bordeaux spend the holidays by the sea. Then comes Boy. He is back from the USA. Everyone is overwhelmed, particularly his 12-year-old niece, Hildegarde, and the maid who used to be his lover, Suzon. But fate is never too generous with spoiled children. This idyllic summer is about to become much more dramatic.
