1791年6月21日深夜,路易十六及其全家乘马车逃出巴黎的王宫,往边境跑去。车上有许多乘客,包括目睹过美国革命的汤姆,捍卫人民原则的佩因;似乎是在利用混乱的女歌唱家;赞扬专制的伯爵夫人;特别担心自己周围人命运的官员和车顶上坐着的雅各宾派大学生以及伯爵夫人可爱的女仆。国王未能到达边境,在—个极热闹的小城镇瓦伦,被当地居民包围了。此时此刻,国王藏身在杂货店老板的家里。拥挤的群众叫喊着,谁也看不到国王及王室成员。广场上的人群此起彼伏地唱着革命的赞歌。人民群众欢欣喜悦,因为革命者抓住了国王,将其带回首都。1793年1月,国王被斩首。。A group of students who are participating in a university's summer science camp are drawn into an incredible quagmire of conflicts, ranging from the relatively simple conflict between an engaging and forthright young teacher and his older manipulative colleague, to a contest pitting political correctness against free scientific inquiry. Despite the murkiness of some of the issues in the latter conflict, the students pitch in enthusiastically on what they believe to be the side of righteousness, and passions rise to fever pitch.
