Felix Grandet reigns as a true tyrant in his modest country house, where he lives with his wife and daughter Eugénie. The ultimate miser, he resents all men eager to ask for his beautiful daughter’s hand. His daughter’s marriage would mean paying a huge dowry and it would also risk the disclosure of his best kept secret: his enormous wealth.
