Synopsis

A kind-hearted and idealistic youth enters the grasping Parisian society of the 1820s, where his education in the realities and costs of city life begin among the residents of a shabby but respectable boardinghouse.  Acclaimed by Leslie Stephen as "the modernKing Lear," it offers a timeless view of the tragedies behind the prosaic details of everyday life.
