The film"s page
Dans l’hôtel particulier des Bonafé, riche famille aristocrate du Paris Belle époque, vivent Madame de Bonafé, mater familias autoritaire, Engelbert, son fils soumis, et Douce, sa petite-fille naïve. Cette dernière est secrètement amoureuse de Fabien Mariani, l'intendant, dont la basse extraction sociale rend impossible toute liaison. D’ailleurs le beau serviteur est l’amant d’Irène, l’institutrice qui en a assez d’être roturière. La demoiselle se laisse alors courtiser par Engelbert, le père de Douce, infirme et veule certes, mais très riche et veuf. Aveuglée par le désir et l’amour, Douce qui ignore tout du manège orchestré par les domestiques entreprend de s’enfuir avec Fabien.
Note : Douce est l’adaptation du roman homonyme de Michel Davet publié en 1940.
