In the tumultuous France of the 18th century, a convicted writer and philosopher, known for his life of excesses and provocations, finds himself caught in the midst of his own storm. As the country prepares for the Revolution, he is confined to an asylum due to his ideas and controversial literary work, which challenge the social norms of the time. Madness and desire intertwine as the protagonist explores his darkest thoughts and confronts the repression of a system that cannot tolerate his vision.
The story unfolds in a disturbing environment where the boundaries of morality blur and the characters indulge in a dangerous game of seduction and manipulation. The writer, accompanied by a cast of eccentric inmates, seeks liberation through writing and desire, defying established conventions at every turn. With a provocative and sometimes grotesque tone, the narrative reveals the contrasts between reason and madness, freedom and oppression.
As he tries to maintain his identity and unique perspective on life, the protagonist witnesses the devastation wrought by a world that refuses to accept human nature as it is. As the revolution threatens to unleash chaos upon society, the writer becomes a symbol of resistance, seeking not only his own freedom but also that of all those who, like him, have been silenced by the forces of law and order.
