Felix Grandet reigns supreme in his modest house in Saumur, where his wife and daughter, Eugénie, lead a life without distractions. Extraordinarily stingy, he doesn’t look kindly on the handsome suits rushing to ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage. Nothing must be allowed to undermine the colossal fortune he’s hiding from everyone. The sudden arrival of Grandet’s nephew, an orphaned and ruined Parisian dandy, turns the young girl’s life upside down.

Confronted with his daughter, he will be more than ever ready to sacrifice everything on the altar of profit, even his own family…
