To whom will they end up in the end? And where is the cheerful and charming maid, in whom the whole male half of the Parisian secular society is in love? Love works wonders and the main characters with humor and easy self-irony find a way out of seemingly desperate situations. But there comes a time when the fate of an unmerciful homeland depends on their decision.
