It is the story of a couple who could not have children and who had hundreds. This is the story of Yvonne and Roger Hagnauer, whom everyone called Goéland et Pingouin. It is the story of intellectuals, anarchists, pacifists, trade unionists, feminists. This is the story of a couple of resistance fighters that some wanted to believe were collaborators. This is the story of the Sèvres children's home, a unique experience of freedom, education and openness to the world. And that's a bit of my story, since my mother, saved by this couple, spent in this house all her childhood.
Freddy, a Viennese Jew who emigrated to New York after Hitler's invasion, and Adler, a left-wing intellectual originally from Berlin, return to Austria in 1944 as soldiers in the U.S. Army. Freddy falls in love with the daughter of a Nazi, and Adler attempts to go over to the Communist Zone. But with the advent of the Cold War and continuing anti-semitism, the idealism of both characters is shattered as they find themselves surrounded by cynicism, opportunism, and universal self-deception.
A bourgeois couple, like so many others. It is clear that after a few years of marriage a bit of boredom may come, and it is their case: especially boredom in bed.
