English title: That Tender Age
Marie and Antoine are planning to get married, and Marie's parents accept the invitation to spend their familial vacation as a guest of Antoine's parents in their seaside hometown. Their respective fathers strike up a friendship, interspersed with occasional bouts of mutual animosity. Things turn for the worse when the two lovebirds quarrel over a former suitor of hers.
Dramatic comedy. It's mainly about generation differences, but also about North-South human differences. It's all simplified for dramatic effect, and doesn't go very deep into any particular issue. The older generation gets more interesting characters and dialogue than the younger one. The ending is outwardly an optimistic one, but anyone with some real life experience would seriously doubt that the young couple's marriage could last more than a few years.
