Maupassant’s story is of a young servant girl seduced, made pregnant, and abandoned by her master, who dies because she cannot live without him. This dramatized version focuses on the relationships between people and the landscapes amid which they live, a story reflective both of Maupassant’s view of life and of the style in which he described it. (French, 64 minutes)
