Narrative
During
the heat wave of July 1976, Claude and Isabelle spend their summer
vacations with their two young sons, Simon (12) and Bibou (8),
Isabelle’s mother, and two couples who are dear friends. Isabelle is
originally from Brittany. She is the one who has chosen the small
village of her birth, Rocher Abraham, as their summer destination.
Claude is Jewish, originally from Algeria. Locals whose accent is as
rough as their manners greet the group with suspicion. The coexistence
is not easy between Parisians and country-folk, Jews and Bretons. But,
gradually, old resentments, past hatred and prejudices are swept away to
make room for friendship, emotions, puppy-loves and rekindled romances.
These are precious moments, never to be forgotten. In Rocher Abraham,
twenty miles away from the sea, Bibou and Simon carve out for themselves
an unforgettable summer. Their most memorable vacation!
