Ridicule

The film begins in 1783 with the Chevalier de Milletail (Carlo Brandt) visiting the elderly Monsieur de Blayac (Lucien Pascal), confined to his chair. He taunts him about his past prowess in wit and reminds him of how he humiliated him, naming him "Marquis de Clatterbang" when he fell over while dancing. He then urinates on the helpless old man.

A travers les aventures de Grégoire Ponceludon de Malavoy, issu d'une famille d'ancienne noblesse tombée dans la précarite, une étude de la cour de Louis XVI et ses antichambres à Versailles en 1780, ou déjà la spiritualité avait pour ennemi mortel le ridicule.
