Come and discover a political and family satire set in a post-war context, an early work by Marcel Pagnol!<p> After the death of his son Henri, who fell in the war as a hero, Edouard Bachelet became the respectable President of the Society of Parents of Those Who Died on the Field of Honour.<br><br> Capitalizing on his newfound fame, a group of prominent citizens from his town, led by Mayor Berlureau, invite him to join their political campaign, awakening long-dormant ambitions in this unassuming provincial civil servant. Bachelet thus finds himself swept up in a new life, only to be derailed by an unexpected and unforeseen event that will force him to confront his meteoric rise and confront him with a dilemma: torn between his own aspirations, those of his political allies, and his role as a father.</p>
