Plot

Arestrup plays Paul de Marseul, a passionate and demanding winemaker dissatisfied at the prospect of his son, Martin, taking over his vineyard. He dreams of a more talented successor, and finds him in the person of Phillipe, the son of his steward, François. M. de Marseul lavishes attention and praise on Phillipe while disparaging Martin's efforts, eventually inviting Phillipe rather than Martin to attend his investiture in the Legion d'honneur.
