Plot
It's year 1774, a few years before the French Revolution takes place. Madame de Dumeval, the Duke of Thesis and the Duc de Wand have been expelled from the Puritan court of Louis XI. Being between tow close citites in Germany, Postdam and Berlin, the group starts to look for the Duke of Walchen, a well-known seducer and german free-thinker, while they are surrounded by an environment full of hypocrisy and false virtues. Their goal is to find a safe place to carry out their malicious games while promoting debauchery. His philosophy is based primarily on a rejection of morality and authority that reign in his time.
According to its director, Albert Serra, the film acts physically on the viewer, producing "that stupefying effect that we can feel when leaving an nightclub late in the night." Aesthetically, the film has received plastic influences from seventeenth-century painting, inspired by works by the painters François Boucher and Jean-Honoré Fragonard.
"A mental movie in which you can't distinguish what you have seen from what you have heard or what you have imagined. Sometimes, we are the voyeurs; other times, they are the ones that look at us and call us. They may be watching us, or scrutinizing our reactions", the director have said.
