What happens

The Married Couple of the Year Two (French: Les Mariés de l'an Deux) is a 1971 French comedy film directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau. It was entered into the 1971 Cannes Film Festival. The title is a reference to “The Soldiers of Year II”, the conscripts raised by the Levée en masse in 1793 to defend the French First Republic against foreign invaders. Released before mutual consent divorce was authorized in France, the film also pays homage to Hollywood comedies of remarriage. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
