Plot Summary of Gascon Feathers
" A peaceful, idyllic hamlet in the deep southwest of France is disrupted when the "duck stuffers" arrive. Intent on force feeding the birds for the huge profits of "foie gras", they proceed to pollute both the land and the lives of those living in the ancient, beautiful homes nearby. Hatreds, tensions and fears finally boil over to infect the whole region in this tale about animal cruelty and the brutalization of its practitioners.

"
