The peasant Damiens, who attempted to kill King Louis XV, lives under a sentence of death by "quartering."
The death sentence was a method not used for 147 years: the Sanson family unexpectedly goes into turmoil, and Uncle Nicolas rushes in to supervise the whole thing. While the family is gripped by internal conflict, the execution is transformed into a sort of national celebration that thrills the crowds... What truth is revealed at that moment on the scaffold to the eyes of innocent souls who believe in "ideals"?
