Raymond Martineau, the boss who seems straight out of a play by Pagnol, fails to assert his authority over his daughter. Nor over his wife, for that matter.

And then there is Joseph, his youngest employee, whose father is Breton but whose mother is Jewish.

And finally there is Louis, his oldest employee, whose new friend is a collaborator of the very worst kind.

But apart from that... life goes on.
