What happens

Jeunes Mariés est un film français de Gilles Grangier, sorti en 1953. Deux jeunes mariés en voyage de noces font une étape imprévue dans un village près duquel vient de s'installer un camp de G.I.s. Ils se trouvent mêlés à l'agitation causée par l'arrivée des troupes américaines, qui divise fortement la population du village : le maire soutient les « occupants », mais l'opposition leur est nettement opposée.
