Monsieur Dufour, a shop-owner from Paris, takes his family for a Sunday of relaxation in the country in 1860. The family stops for lunch at Poulain's restaurant beside the road. Two young men there, Henri and Rodolphe, become interested in Dufour's wife and in his daughter Henriette. The two men discuss how to get the women alone.
