Synopsis : Felix Grandet tyrannically rules the humble provincial house where he lives with his wife and daughter Eugenie who lead a precarious and joyless existence alongside him. The extraordinarily avaricious Grandet does not look favorably upon any of the fine gentlemen who plan to ask for his daughter's hand. Such a marriage would require a significant dowry and, as such, would risk lifting the veil on Grandet's best kept secret: his colossal fortune. The sudden visit of Grandet's nephew, an idle and bankrupt Parisian dandy, awakens the tender soul of Eugenie who falls head over heels in love with him. Triggered into a senseless rage, Grandet is more than ever ready to sacrifice everything on the altar of money, even his own daughter.
