plot synopsis:
A French family of musicians becomes the unwilling host of a segment of a German high Command when their house in Paris is taken over by the occupying forces.
Among the elements of comedy there are absurd characters like Hitler's singing half-brother or a stereotypical "good" German officer, as they were shown in so many post WWII films.
