FIORILE

Two young children visit their grandfather, a recluse, and come into contact with the family curse that has claimed the lives of many ancestors, due to greed, power, death, and impossible love affairs dating back to Napoleonic times. Grandfather has given up the family wealth to live alone, in order to protect his only son and heir from the family curse. But now the unexpected arrival of his son's family raises all the old problems yet again. The children find the key to the curse in some gold coins hidden in a dummy in the attic. And they return to Paris, taking the curse with them.
