France in the late nineteenth century. At the centre is the trial of Georges Louis, a carpenter accused of murdering an elderly married couple. His testimony brings a long-hidden family secret to light and raises questions about parental responsibility, social inequality, humiliation, and whether a person may pass judgment on those who once abandoned their own child. The hero’s private tragedy is set against the impersonal demands of law and public morality.
