Sade

Give In To Your Desires

1794. The Reign of Terror has entered its bloodiest phase. Deemed immoral and unworthy of society, the Marquis de Sade (Daniel Auteuil) faces execution by Robespierre's puritanical regime. But thanks to the devotion of his mistress, Marie-Constance Quesnet (Marianne Denicourt), the author finds temporary respite at Picpus, a sanitarium for aristocrats awaiting the guillotine. There, he focuses his attention on Emile (Islid Le Besco), a teenage virgin longing to experience sensual pleasure before her death. Despite the horror and dismay around them, Sade teaches the girl to let go of fear and give in to passion and desire.
