In 18th century France, just before the Revolution, a group of nobles prepares to celebrate a grand party that promises to dazzle everyone with music, dance, and excesses. Among the guests is the carefree yet astute Marquis de Follavoine, a man who feels completely immune to the social upheavals looming on the horizon. As the evening progresses, the marquis and his friends indulge in the pleasures of life, ignoring the growing tensions in the country and the imminent arrival of radical change.
As the wines flow and secrets are whispered amidst laughter, the festive atmosphere begins to darken with the unexpected presence of revolutionaries who burst in with bold demands for justice. The party becomes a stage where class tensions and the conflicts between the old regime and the future that looms clash, revealing the hypocrisy of a society clinging to its opulence at all costs.
Throughout this story, the old world faces its inevitable downfall, while the characters are forced to question their own loyalties and desires amid the feast that becomes a symbol of decadence. With a blend of comedy and drama, the narrative captures the complexity of a transitional era, where hedonism and desperation intertwine in surprising and revealing ways.
