The play focuses on the character of Rousselin, who finds himself at the center of a provincial electoral contest, navigating the complexities of local politics and societal expectations. The beginning of the play sets the scene in Rousselin's garden, introducing the audience to a variety of characters, including Murel, a domestic servant, and Gruchet, who discuss Rousselin's ambitions to run for deputy. Murel expresses skepticism about Rousselin's suitability for public office while Gruchet mocks his aspirations. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that Rousselin's candidacy is not merely about politics but entangled with his family dynamics and aspirations, particularly involving his daughter Louise and the various suitors vying for her attention, including journalist Julien Duprat. The opening establishes a backdrop of social ambition, love, and the interplay of personal desires against the canvas of political aspiration.
