In adjusting to life in the village, each family member runs into trouble. Giovanni is being observed by two FBI agents across the street in a safehouse to ensure he doesnt leave his house. Giovanni claims to be an author writing a historical novel on the Normandy landings, which is problematic as many citizens in the area are much more familiar with the event than he is.

He savagely beats a plumber who tries to shake him down for money and a local fertilizer factory owner who interrupts him while he is talking.Daughter Belle Dianna Agron falls in love with Henri, a college student who is working as a substitute math teacher. She pretends to need math lessons in order to start a relationship with him and he rebuffs her, but she eventually seduces him. Wife Maggie Michelle Pfeiffer blows up a small grocery store when its owner spews stereotypical antiAmerican comments and often visits the undercover FBI agents who watch over the family from across the street. She also spends a lot of time at the church, where she and the local priest have an amicable relationship. Their friendship ends when she confesses the numerous crimes her family has committed and he tells her never to come back. ........
