1792. Louis XVI, his wife Marie Antoinette, and their children have been arrested and imprisoned in the Tour du Temple, a sinister chateau in Paris, awaiting their trial. Far from the splendour of Versailles, they are isolated and vulnerable for the first time in their lives.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
This is literally an apocalyptic film: it deals with the moment when all veils and all masks are stripped away. It has a metaphysical rather than a historical ambition, and explores a personal apocalypse: that of the protagonists.
