Synopsis

Felix Grandet reigns supreme in his modest house in Saumur where his wife and daughter Eugenie lead a distraction-free existence. Extremely avaricious, he does not take a favorable view of the beautiful parties who rush to ask for his daughter's hand. Nothing should damage the colossal fortune he hides from everyone. The sudden arrival of Grandet's nephew, an orphaned and ruined Parisian dandy, turns the young girl's life upside down.

Critics' reviews

"It’s a feature film which yet again demonstrates the ruthlessly evocative power wielded by Balzac, and which denounces the fate reserved for women, whatever the era, when they’re forced to suffer men’s dominion"
