About the show

During the French Revolution, Marie de Lanjallay and her husband Maurice are separated when he flees to Brittany. Imprisoned with Clorivière, who loves her, Marie is spared after Robespierre’s fall. Years later she lives in poverty with Clorivière and a child; Maurice returns, and the truth about Marie’s assault and Clorivière’s guilt emerges in court, where Clorivière takes his own life.
