When war is declared, Patricia, a modest young girl, sees Jacques Mazel, an aviator in the army who ignore that she is pregnant, leave. Blamed by her father, a well-digger, and rejected by the Mazels, wealthy shopkeepers, she gives birth at her aunt’s house. But when Jacques is reported missing, the grandparents gather around the cradle and listen together to the Head of State announce the surrender of France
