Synopsis

For generations, the French villages of Longueverne and Velrans have engaged in a lighthearted, ongoing war between their schoolboy armies. Their battles are less about weapons and more about pranks and cleverness. When Lebrac, the leader of Longueverne, is punished by his father for losing uniform buttons, he devises a surprising plan to help his troops win. In a bold move during the next confrontation with Velrans, Lebrac and his soldiers decide to fight without their clothes, hoping this unconventional tactic will give them the advantage. The film explores themes of friendship, rivalry, and the lengths people will go to for victory, all presented with humor and a touch of the absurd.
