A disrespectful comedy set on a rural estate in the year seventeen hundred and dot, where the peasants hoe the beet when they're not in the stocks or under the lash ... until the day Axel, an actor, presents himself as the heir to the estate. With the help of modern management and a lottery scratch card Axel scores the peasants' voluntary subjection, as well as the fair maid's chastity belt. But what'll happen when the real Count returns?
