“Nothing can replace family,” says Clara, a very old lady, the founder of the Morvan clan. But will young people, her heirs, want to follow this covenant? Clara is used to achieving what she wants in life, she is not only loved, all family members obey her unquestioningly. And what will happen then? After her death? Her two sons split the family: one turned out to be an informer, the other a murderer. What if this crack in the grandchildren's relationship turns into a chasm? Then her life was in vain? Clara bequeaths her beloved estate in the south of France as the undivided possession of all five grandchildren. And every summer, no matter what happens in their lives and relationships, they, along with their children and household members, come to Wallong. The Morvan family chronicle covers the events of the 60-80s of the 20th century, the epilogue is dated by the author to 2001.
