Eugénie Grandet
HistoryDrama
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.
VIBE
A suffocating portrait of provincial life under the thumb of avarice. It's a slow, deliberate descent into the quiet desperation of a gilded cage, where societal expectations and familial duty crush the spirit.
