Summary: | Cloaked in a comedy of manners, this scathing critique of corrupt French society is about a weekend hunting party at which amorous escapades abound among the aristocratic guests, which are also mirrored by the activities of the servants downstairs. French aristocrats and their servants play hard at a weekend chateau shooting party." |
