Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
André, a Frenchman divorced from his American wife takes his teenage daughter, Nicole, on vacation with him. She is desperate to appear as a woman and not a girl, so in order to impress a local boy, she makes up more and more ridiculous stories, starting with André being her lover. André is desperate to make Nicole happy and so plays along with her crazy games, and the stories they make up get increasingly bizzare.
My dad had only a handful of experienced non-commissioned officers to provide the backbone of leadership that would prevent his company from folding and breaking like so many other units did in the face of massed German armored formations.
My mom, being the great person she is, understood that being a soldier is who my dad was and agreed to go with him wherever the Army sent him.
My dad continued to serve and be promoted and by the mid-1960s, was a Lt Col and battalion commander.
