The Comte de Maigny, father of Odette and Christiane, forces the former to give up her first love for his own selfish reasons; Odette reconciles herself to a loveless life but takes care that a similar fate does not befall her sister. ...See moreThe Comte de Maigny, father of Odette and Christiane, forces the former to give up her first love for his own selfish reasons; Odette reconciles herself to a loveless life but takes care that a similar fate does not befall her sister. Christiane's love for Arnaud, a married artist, has an unfavorable effect on the courtship of their brother, Max, with a wealthy heiress; furious with his younger daughter, the count is taken to task by Odette for pawning the house furnishings to support his mistress. The artist's wife finally agrees to a divorce, paving the way for Christiane's marriage and for the union of Odette with the family lawyer, who has loved her for years. De Maigny finds consolation with his mistress. Written by AFI See less
