- Summary:
- Adapted from Émile Zola's novel of the same name, this is loosely based off the 1882 collapse of Union Générale bank, which subsequently crashed the stock market and plunged France into a decade long recession. The story centers on the unscrupulous Nicolas Saccard, played by Pierre Alcover, who makes a bad bet, loses his societal standing and his mistress and tries to recoup it all by backing an aviator with a daredevil plan to cross the Atlantic to exploit raw materials in the New World.
