He runs his household with exacting miserly attention and his wife and daughter suffer a Spartan existence. On the evening of his daughter Eug nie's 23rd birthday his foppish nephew Charles suddenly arrives from Paris. Eug nie has never known passion, but now, in an instant, she falls in love and her life is changed forever.
