An evocation of the life of the Austrian-born queen, unloved wife of Louis XVI, guillotined in 1793.
Just out of adolescence, a young girl discovers a hostile, codified world, a frivolous universe where everyone observes and judges the other without kindness.
Married to a clumsy man who neglects her, she quickly tires of the representational duties imposed on her.
She escapes into the intoxication of partying and the pleasures of the senses to reinvent a world of her own.
Is there a price to pay for seeking the happiness that some deny you?
