Paris, 1887. In a society where dueling is the last resort to uphold one's honor, a charismatic fencing master and a forward-thinking feminist will fight side by side, defying the dangers that loom over them. For his fourth directorial effort, actor and director Vincent Perez (known for Indochine, Fanfan, La Reine Margot, Le Bossu) delves into the millennia-long history of dueling in France before the practice was completely abandoned after World War II. A grand historical film featuring the best actors of the moment.
