In 1616, the Spanish domination is exercised less severely in Flanders. As they prepare for their kermesse, villagers learn of a delegation led by Duke Olivares. The mayor, traumatized by the looting and violence suffered during the occupation, pretends to be dead. His wife, outraged by his cowardice, plays the charming hostess for the duke and his procession of dashing soldiers.
A classic of French cinema, a comedy that immerses us in the Flanders of the 17th century and which wonderfully restores the light of this century immortalized by painting.
A classic of French cinema to be absolutely rediscovered (Jacques Feyder 1935)!
