Synopsis

Lucien, a young boy, loves his father, Jacques, but despises his childish eccentricities, which include an extravagant clown act. Jacques’ best friend, André, decides it his time for Lucien to discover the reason for his father’s behaviour. During World War II, Jacques and Lucien both loved the same woman, Louise. To impress her, and thereby win her love, the two friends blow up a signal box, their small contribution to the French Resistance. Shortly afterwards, they are arrested by German soldiers and thrown into a mud pit with two other men. Unless someone confesses to the resistance strike, the four men will be shot. Unable to escape, the four men are cheered by the sight of a friendly German soldier who entertains them with his impersonation of a clown...
