The 1950s in France. Patrick Carrion (Nicolas Chatel) is a young boy who worships all things American, and comes of age in a small village near a U.S. military base. He has a pleasant French life with a lovely girlfriend, Marie-José Vire (Sarah Grappin) and happy family. But one day, he meets an American soldier named Will Caberra (James Gandolfini) which changes his life forever. The soldier introduces Patrick to American music, fun, freedom and women. Under the soldier's tutelage, the boy follows his dream of becoming a drummer and falling in love with an American girl Trudy Wadd (Alicia Silverstone). Patrick's family and ex-girlfriend witness Patrick's heartbreak when he is faced with the reality that there is a price to pay with some American ways.
