Set just after World War II, though filmed while the war still raged, the film shows a post‑war mood of euphoria, full employment and optimism. Peter, the idle son of a hard‑working hotel owner, despises the idea of earning a living. He discovers a fringe community called the “White Elephants,” who prefer poverty to work, and are protected by Nina (Margaret Lockwood) and her precocious sister Heidi (Jean Simmons).
