In May 1968, the storm of the May student movement swept through France. In a quiet village in the south, the family gathered together because of the death of their grandmother. Picoli plays the eldest son of the family, who has to face the constant quarrel and entanglement of the family over the distribution of the family property. Mahler's later literary films contain social symbolism. With the help of a family dispute under the May storm, the director symbolizes the reaction and psychological changes of ordinary people during external social changes. the protagonist metaphorically represents the middle class of French traditional culture, although he is enthusiastic in the face of the revolution. but after the passion, as always, no change. The beautiful natural scenery of Impressionism, the warm family jokes of French style and the leisurely and lazy jazz are all the attractive elements of this typical French petty bourgeoisie comedy.
