When he learns his days are numbered old count Hervé de Kéraudren decides to hide in a secret alcove and to die there, just to annoy his heirs. As a result of his body not being found the latter will have to wait for five years until they can inherit the count's money. Very upsetting indeed, all the more as they are required to keep up the Kéraudren estate in the meantime. To collect money, nephews and nieces organize a Son et Lumière show at the manor while busily looking for the missing corpse. But, unexpectedly, they get killed in turns. Murders or accidents? Jean-Marie, his fiancée Micheline and his cousin Edwige investigate and finally succeed in exposing the culprit. And, the count's body being found by chance, all goes back to normal.
The movie is a throwback to a time when ordinary people enjoyed simple pleasures like going to their club, or taking in the pictures and growing their chrysanthemums in the adjoining greenhouse garden...so very British.
It is these very ordinary people that some artists have a great sympathy and admiration for in our often self-serving world. Nothing extraordinary about the movie or the couple but almost 60 years on, the acting still makes it a delight to watch.

昆汗比比(Cunhambebe)是印第安塔穆约(Tamoyo)部落武装反抗葡萄牙人的同盟领袖,这个部落现今分布于里约热内卢至圣保罗之间。根据死里逃生的Cunhambebe俘虏海员施塔登(Hans Staden)的回忆录描述,图皮南巴(Tupinambá)族人是食人族,凶残而且好斗。
1555年法国入侵里约热内卢,塔穆约部落与葡萄牙人联合抗击法国。
由于战争的持续,传教士José de Anchieta 和Manuel da Nóbrega发现了巴西东南面的一个小村皮拉蒂宁卡村(aldeia de Piratininga),此后此处逐渐发展成为了今天的圣保罗。因为Anchieta能够流利的使用图皮语,两人之后进入了Cunhambebe的部族中,并与其达成了一系列协议。1567年,在乌巴图巴(Ubatuba),他们与Cunhambebe签订了Iperoig条约,条约的签署使得巴西落入葡萄牙人的手中,而且在当地只允许使用葡萄牙语和信奉天主教。在16世纪以前,当地的图皮人一直都是奴隶。
这部电影讲述的便是1594年葡萄牙骑士Estácio de Sá(1520-1567) 试图驱逐法国殖民者,在此之际,由于塔穆约部落的仇敌图皮金人(Tupiniquins)站在葡萄牙人一方,他们感到背叛,于是开始支持法国人。
一位法国人Arduíno Colassanti被图皮南巴俘获。虽然他已自称是法国人,但审判仍判定他是来自葡萄牙,惩罚他为奴隶。Seboipepe的丈夫死于葡萄牙人之手,于是他们结婚,希望得到神灵的复仇。
随后,在一场战役中他用葡萄牙人留下的大炮击败了图皮金人,为了庆祝这一胜利,图皮南巴人决定把他吃掉……
This is an interesting yet bizarre little tale of a fictional (as far as I know, anyway) experiment performed during the Stalin-controlled years in the USSR. The main character is changed from a woman into a man. This is part of a larger plan to change more women into men and have a stronger work-force/army, etc. It's a very in-depth character study of the main character, who tries to fit into a world that she (now 'he') doesn't really understand, especially since she's now a man ... Stalin dislikes the results of the experiments and has the scientist killed. The main character then goes off to live a life as a simple, unknown everyday Soviet, but is inexplicably drawn into larger and larger schemes (somewhat reminiscent of "Forrest Gump" in that way). (s)He has run-ins with different important characters, including his ex-boyfriend from his days of being a woman, as well as going on a demented quest for the nurse with whom he possibly fell in love after the operation... However, he is trapped in his life as an important Soviet married man, and in the end makes a huge sacrifice for his country (unwillingly), and the movie goes from there to an ending that is possibly happy, yet still somehow incredibly depressing.
