The story is very simple. We were in Poland in the early 1900. Aloysius Darvid is a millionaire with a wife and three children. At the beginning of the story his wife is ending an affair, his eldest daughter wants to marry someone he doesn’t approve of, his son is living his life as a dandy not making something of himself, and his youngest daughter dotes on him.
