A poor but ambitious young man arrives in Paris and settles down in the boarding house run by Madame Vauquer.

Eugène becomes friends with Goriot but while the former, thanks to his cousin Madame de Beauséant, is introduced in high society, Goriot, both exploited and scoffed at by his daughters, continues his descent into hell.
