Description of this Poster Grandpa Makes Resistance
Papy fait de la resistance is a French war comedy directed by Jean-Marie Poiré in 1983.
Héléna Bourdelle, aka "La Bourdelle", is a world-renowned opera singer and the wife of maestro André Bourdelle. They live in a luxurious mansion in Paris, with their three grown children - Bernadette, Colette and Guy-Hubert - and André's father, nicknamed "Papy". When Nazi Germany occupies France, André becomes the leader of a resistance cell, but he is killed by an accidental grenade explosion. Two years later, the family's mansion was requisitioned by the German occupation authorities to accommodate General Hermann Spontz of the Wehrmacht, transferred from the Eastern Front to Paris. The Germans brutally took over the entire house and left the family to occupy the cellar, complaining to the Kommandantur about the excesses of Spontz and his men. During their stay at the Kommandantur, Madame Bourdelle, her daughter Bernadette and Michel Taupin, tenant of the house, accidentally help a British RAF airman to escape, and are then forced to hide him in their cellar.
Michel Taupin unsuccessfully courts Bernadette, after first having his sights set on Colette. His insistent desire to join the Resistance takes him through many adventures. Imprisoned after the Kommandantur episode, he meets a resistance fighter, Félix, who confides in him, thinking that he is going to be shot by the Germans. When they are freed by an elusive vigilante nicknamed "Super-Resistant", Félix finds himself unable to get rid of Michel.
The family was also persecuted by Adolfo Ramirez, the former guard of the Paris Opera, a fervent collaborationist who became a Gestapo agent. Ramirez seeks revenge on the Bourdelles but they are protected by General Spontz, an admirer of Héléna Bourdelle and who has a weakness for Bernadette. Ramirez finally discovers that Guy-Hubert, the family's son, a seemingly cowardly and effeminate hairdresser, is in fact the "Super-Resistant" and Félix's boss, but Spontz doesn't believe him.
While she had sworn not to sing as long as there were Germans in France, Madame Bourdelle was forced by General Spontz to attend a reception in honor of Hitler's half-brother, the Marshal Ludwig von Apfelstrudel, who is held in a castle near Paris. With the help of Michel Taupin, the Resistance plans to detonate a bomb in the dining room. The operation fails and the Bourdelles and Taupin are about to be arrested, but they are saved by Super-Resistant, who captures von Apfelstrudel and all the German generals, with the help of his men and Papy.
The story seems to end, but turns out to be a "film within a film" and gives way to a contemporary television debate, intended to address the period of occupation and to reflect the reality of the events described in the film . The show brings together Bernadette Bourdelle and General Spontz (now married), Guy-Hubert, Adolfo Ramirez Jr (son of Ramirez, who came from Bolivia to defend the memory of his father), and Michel Taupin (today Minister of Veterans). Quickly, the discussion turns into disaster: Ramirez Jr. insults and defames the other protagonists of the story, who begin to hit him on the television set, forcing the host to cut the transmission.
