Viper in the Fist

Brittany, 1920. Jean (Jules Sitruk) and his older brother have the family estate to themselves after their grandmother dies, until their mother, Paule (Catherine Frot), comes back to run it. The boys start calling her Folcoche, and Philippe de Broca follows the household as her rule settles over the house. Jean's father, Jacques (Jacques Villeret), stays in the background, and Jean keeps watching her.
