Story
France, 1794 After long wanderings in the prisons of the Marquis de Sade, the aristocrat who turned into a seducer, a victim of Puritan terror Robespierre, ends up in the closed Pikpus Guesthouse, where a luxurious society of nobles and scammers escapes death, emptying their pockets. Here he meets the young and innocent Emily, immediately deciding to lay out to her frank lessons of life and love. Without losing bravado and a sense of humor, this “immoral teacher” puts his new play in the walls of Picpus, trying to distract his student and her entourage from the cold brilliance of the guillotine, which mercilessly administers its cruel court. But a modest paradise has already turned into hell, and soon the wind of history will carry the freedom-loving lecher to meet eternity and immortality.
