Au bon beurre
movie
L\u00e9on L\u00e9cuyer, an idealistic history student, manages to escape from the camp where he was imprisoned and comes back to Paris. He hides in his mother's apartment when the Germans, informed by an anonymous letter, storm their block. He runs away once more and leaves for Lyon. Wishing to serve his country, L\u00e9on decides to kill Pierre Laval. But he does so badly that he is arrested and condemned to ten years in prison. Meanwhile in Paris, Charles-Hubert and Julie Poissonnard, the owners of the dairy shop Au Bon Beurre, where L\u00e9on's mother shops, thrive by speculating on people's misery, by getting supplies on the black market, by selling goods ten times what they are worth, while blatantly supporting the policies of Mar\u00e9chal P\u00e9tain. But when Charles-Hubert senses the wind turning, he changes attitudes. He saves a Jew and even organizes the Resistance in his neighborhood. After the war, the Poissonards, richer than ever, have gained a new respectability. As for L\u00e9on, now a history teacher at Lyc\u00e9e Jean-Baptiste Say, he is transferred against his will for ... giving bad grades to Henri, Poissonard's son.\u2014Guy Bellinger
