It is 1960, a village in the south of France. A gang of boys, aged between 7 and 14, led by the intrepid Lebrac, is at war with children of a neighbouring village, their sworn enemies. It is a war that has lasted for generations, a war without end and without concession. To defend their honour and proclaim their loyalty, the boy warriors will do anything to show that are the stronger side – even if it means fighting battles in the nude or admitting a girl into their esteemed ranks. The only thing these brave soldiers fear is to be caught by their parents after a skirmish has left them deprived of buttons and with their clothes in tatters. In that event, discretion is most definitely the better part of valour. (AZ Films)
