La maison des bois

The gendarmes investigate a thief who gleefully picks from the common reserve of the village. Hervé sympathizes with the elegant Count, and has lunch in his castle.

Hervé's father visits his son for the first time in a year. The reunion is timid and infinitely happy. But the boy soon learns the news of the death of his companion Marcel.

The armistice has arrived, and the children participate in a party before leaving the house in the woods forever. Hervé finds his father in Paris and discovers his new 'mother' and his half-sister Brigitte, with whom he will now live.

While Parisian life seems very boring to Hervé, 'Papa Jacques' the gamekeeper, pays a surprise visit. His wife is very sick and he is desperate. Hervé decides to run away to go to her and see the house in the woods one last time.
