The film begins as a lugubrious family drama. Paul de Marseul (Niels Arestrup) is a distinguished vintner in the St-Emilion region, so renowned he is to be awarded the Legion of Honor. He’s deeply attached to his vineyard and, now that he is aging, is obsessed with passing it all down to posterity. Normally that should be his son, Martin (Lorant Deutsch). The problem is that Paul has no confidence in Martin; he seems barely able to stand him at all. He keeps asking his daughter-in-law if she’s going to have a baby, not out of grandfatherly urging, but probably the idea of generation-skipping. We learn the conflict is due not only to the opposition between the father’s alpha-maleness and Martin’s consummate nerdiness, but the circumstances of the deaths of Paul’s wife and his own father.
