About Vendémiaire
In September 1918, on the Castelviel estate in the south of France, the grape harvest goes on. The war is ending, and the news has not reached the vines. The film is in four chapters. The titles talk about growing and drinking wine. The harvest stands for French land and the people Feuillade wanted to keep defending it. René Cresté, Édouard Mathé, and Louis Leubas are billed.
