The Wolves by Guy Mazeline
A portrait of a middle-class family in the port town of Havre, tracing how social pressures and personal resentments slowly unravel their lives. An aging matriarch tries to control her impractical son—whose marriage to a peasant woman and tangled relationships create friction—while the younger generation seeks to break free from provincial constraints. The story focuses on family conflict and shifting alliances against the town’s backdrop, with interwoven subplots that deepen the character drama.
