Film Synopsis

Since his wife died, Andrieu, a successful industrialist, lives only for his two daughters, Christine and Annie.  Thinking he is doing so for their benefit, he spoils them with his time and money, allowing them to indulge in whatever whim takes their fancy.  But he succeeds only in earning his daughters' contempt.  Cruelly betrayed by those he loves most in the world, Andrieu ends up by turns his back on them.
