His name is Amedee Lange, and he murdered Batala in Paris. The family of a Parisian shop-owner spends a day in the country.
The daughter falls in love with a man at the inn, where they spend the day. A bourgeois life in France at the onset of World War II, as the rich and their poor servants meet up at a French chateau. This comedy drama from Jean Renoir chronicles the revival of Paris' most notorious dance as it tells the story of a theater producer who turns a humble washerwoman into a star at the Moulin Rouge. Jacques Lantier is a train engineer who is prone to violent seizures, a condition he attributes to his forefathers' habit of excessive drinking.
When Roubaud catches wind of his wife's affair with her godfather, the wealthy M.
Grandmorin, he kills him during a train journey in a fit of jealousy. They both begin an affair, all the while Roubaud becomes increasingly withdrawn and starts to gamble.
