Le défunt père avait éduqué ses enfants dans un esprit libéral. En décembre 1943, un des fils est arrêté pour propagande pacifiste. L'oncle, colonel ultra-militariste, considère ce fait comme une trahison majeure et rompt de manière unilatérale les fiançailles de celui-ci avec sa nièce. Le deuxième frère, un peintre, est enrôlé dans l'armée. En décembre 1944, l'oncle et sa femme vivent désormais sous le même toit que l'ensemble de la famille.
