Plot summary
A closed-minded conservative couple masquerade as
liberal do-gooders in late 60's France. With orders piling up at
their bistro, The Full Belly, Loretta and Henri, self-described
"pillars of the community," hire Diamantine as a waitress in order
to give a poor black orphan a break. At home, they tell their
trusting, new live-in employee that she's "one of the family," yet
in town they encourage widespread disapproval of her. When they
convince her to carry an extended joke to full term - pretending
she's pregnant - Diamantine, and a slightly shady friend of the
couple, Jan, become entangled in an elaborate charade.
