Tănase Scatiu is, in essence, the embodiment of the parasite who climbs the social hierarchy without any scruples.
Synopsis: Screenization of the novel of the same name by Duiliu Zamfirescu. Drowned in debts, the landlord Murguleț agrees to wed his daughter, Tincuța, to the upstart Tănase Scatiu. The young man seizes the landlord's property, which facilitates his climb up the social hierarchy. But the marriage fails miserably, and the newly rich man, who has meanwhile become a Member of Parliament, has to face the peasants' revolt.
