Nostalgia, humour and melancholy blend with the legendary chemistry between cinema icons Jean Gabin and Jean-Paul Belmondo. Set in Normandy in 1944, Inn keeper Albert vowed never to drink again if he and his wife survived the war, which they do. But when the heavy drinking young Gabriel turns up, conflicted about reconciling with his daughter. Albert decides they should set off on one last drinking binge, resulting in madcap havoс.
