A green mare makes the fortune of her owner, the horse dealer Haudouin. Shortly after his death, war broke out in 1870.

Following this denunciation, their non-commissioned officer enters the Haudouin home and rapes the mother while Honoré is hidden under the bed. The resentment already existing between the Haudouin and Maloret families turns to hatred... A letter recalling the events is lost, which doesn't help matters.
