About this movie

As she cuts across the fields to take her father his lunch, Patricia meets Jacques. She is eighteen, he is twenty six. She is pretty, with the fine manners of a young lady; he is a fighter pilot and a handsome young man. A full moon will do the rest on their second meeting. There won't be a third rendezvous: Jacques is sent to the front. Patricia finds herself pregnant. The boy's rich parents accuse her of blackmail. Patricia and her father, the well-digger, will alone have the joy of welcoming her child. A joy that the Mazels will soon envy and seek to share when Jacques goes missing in action... 2011 AS Films - Zaxh Films - Pathe Productions -TF1 Films Production
