In a small village in northern France, Monsieur Ouine, a retired
professor, is taken in by the dull local squire, Anthelme de
Nereis, and soon rules the life of both Anthelme and his wife,
Ginette. A fourteen-year-old fatherless boy, Philippe Dorval, flees
home and, on impulse, follows Madame de Nereis to her chateau.
There the squire, who is dying, tells the boy that his father is
actually alive and well--that despite what Philippe's mother had
told him, his father had not died in World War I. The forsaken boy
finds himself on that fatal evening succumbing to Monsieur Ouine's
embrace after falling into a drunken sleep in the old professor's
bed. The events of the tempestuous night lead to upheaval in the
village the next morning, when, at dawn, a boy's body is found
afloat in a stream near the chateau.
