Description
1572. France. A young Protestant, Bernard de-Merji, arrives in Paris, where he meets his older brother who has become Catholic. Deciding not to quarrel over religious beliefs, the two young men plunge headlong into the pleasures offered by the court of the Medicis—where romantic intrigues turn into knightly duels. But soon, one of the most terrible tragedies in the country’s history occurs—the St. Bartholomew’s Night. It divides loved ones across opposing sides of barricades and reveals a new monstrous image of France, gutted by civil war for nothing more than the king’s whim—his need for entertainment.
