A historical satire of the first half of the 19th century that gives a picture of the declining class of noblemen, who in spite of the fact they little by little lost their riches and practically are poor, still keep up the old principles of the noble honour and glory. It is not until the elections when it turns out how easily the ”honorable” and chivalrous qualities of these noblemen can be bought for money. (official distributor synopsis)
