Synopsis
Le professeur Étienne Alexis est un fringant biologiste, apôtre de la fécondation artificielle grâce à laquelle il veut améliorer la race humaine. Un projet de mariage arrangé avec une responsable allemande de mouvements de jeunesse doit propulser sa candidature à la présidence de l'Europe. Seulement, au cours d’un pique-nique en pleine nature, il fait la connaissance de Nénette, une fille de la campagne, qui se met à sa disposition comme sujet d'expériences puisque, justement, elle n'est pas tellement portée sur les hommes. Le paysage idyllique et le charme naturel de la jeune paysanne, font oublier à Étienne son projet et le ramènent à la méthode naturelle.Actors
