Les Zozos (1973)
Directed by Pascal Thomas

Comedy

Film Synopsis

In the spring of 1962, Frédéric and François are two boarders at a French provincial school.  During the interminable weekdays they think only of the coming weekend, when they can amuse themselves by chasing after girls.  The only downer is that the town where they live offers them little variety by way of female pulchritude.  Perhaps this is why they accept so readily an invitation to spend the Easter holidays with another boy, Paringaux, who lives in Sweden.  If the two boys had imagined that Scandinavian girls would be easier to snare than their French counterparts they soon discover otherwise.  They agree to keep their series of amorous fiascos to themselves and paint a totally different picture of their holiday when they are back at school...
