A young boy at a French boarding school during the German occupation struggles to fit in. He fights with another boy, who turns out to be Jewish and hiding from the Nazis. They never quite become best friends, but they do learn to respect each other. A series of events occur at the school, ending with a visit from the Gestapo who identify the boy and take him away. Moving film from Malle, though it does spend too much time with school boy hi-jinks.
