Eté 1961. Pierre, étudiant à Paris, vient passer ses vacances chez sa mère Hélène et son beau-père Jean, enseignant en Algérie qui vivent en bon voisinage avec Mayette et Georges. Malgré leurs divergences d'opinion, les deux familles vivent comme si la guerre qui les entoure n'existait pas, essayant de préserver les plaisirs de la vie quotidienne et de la plage. Mais la réalité des évènements sera plus forte que leurs désirs.
