Film Synopsis

Maurice Decques was born in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, the son of an American anarchist and Communist locksmith.  He looks back on the major events of his life, from the 1930s to 1955 - his childhood, his parents' political battles, the people he used to know in his neighbourhood, his meeting with Alain Bombard, and his taste for adventure which propelled him into his working life and his marriage.  Overall, he concludes, it hasn't been a bad life...
