Against the backdrop of the savage Catholic/Protestant wars, Marie De Mezieres ( Melanie Thierry, Babylon A.D., The Legend of 1900), a beautiful young aristocrat, finds herself married to a young prince (Gregorie Leprince-Ringuet, Love Songs) she does not love, haunted by a rakish suitor (Gaspard Ulliel, Hannibal Rising, A Very Long Engagement) from her childhood, and advised by an aging nobleman (Lambert Wilson, Of Gods and Men), harboring his own forbidden desire for her. The Princess of Monpensier must struggle passionately to stay alive in the intrigue of this corrupt political and romantic web of duty, passion, religion, and war.
