This innocent being, semi-man, semi-pig, attracted by Clytia - the girl of the Patriarch of the community, and promised in marriage of the Karkos poet -, are the object of mockeries and brimades on behalf of the villagers.

It meets there the god Pan, who prefers that it is called Satyre, and who initiates it, with its manner, with some practical of these pagan times. From return among the villagers, at the time of the gathering of olives, Minor fall from the tree where it was perched to observe Clytia, and commits suicide. Left for death, it ressuscite however, once the fallen night, and finds the use of the word. As of the following day, the villagers, disconcerted by this resurrection and this new capacity of the man-pig to speaking, testify at once an apprehensive respect with regard to Minor, which appears, for its part, gifted of a great direction of the eloquence.

Reception

Its Majesty Minor , was very badly accommodated overall by the press and the French public. Incomprehensible, hollow and lustful are the principal qualifiers taken again by criticisms after having viewed film. Year is justified, quoting for example the failure of the Nom of the Rose in Italy and in the United States, which spent years before becoming a film of reference.
