The film takes place in rural Provence, where two local farmers scheme to trick a newcomer out of his newly inherited property.

'The point of the film is not to create suspense, but to capture the relentlessness of human greed, the feeling that the land is so important the human spirit can be sacrificed to it.' Roger Ebert
