War of the Buttons
Movie description:
Original-DVD There is a long tradition of rivalry between the kids from Longverne and from the neigbouring village Velrans. The leaders from the two rival gangs, Lebrac and The Aztec fought with their gangs almost every day. One day The Aztec was caught by his opponents, and Lebrac decided to cut off his – no – all his buttons to humiliate him. Later Lebrac himself was caught and suffered the same fate. Being from a poor family, and finding it had to find money to replace the damaged clothing, he had the idea to fight stark naked. Fighting naked, elimiated the problem of repairing damaged clothing.
The surprised foes retreated rapidly, but the boys were seen by girls and had suffered wounds from branches and bushes during their battle. So Lebrac had a new idea. They collected buttons, shoelaces etc., to avoid a punishment from their dads when they discovered the destroyed clothing. A further fight was won by Lebrac, who rode a horse, and the fiends run away. Then Aztec struck back. He stole a tractor with the help of a traitor of Lebrac’s gang, the son of the owner of the engine, and destroyed the headquarter from Lebrac’s boys – but also the tractor. The boy was beaten up by Lebrac and his angry mates. So Lebrac’s dad sent him to a boarding school, headed by padres.
He felt very lonely – till he saw another new boy.
