New French drama series.
Paris, 1899. A story of three people,
Céleste, a can-can dancer in a Montmartre cabaret, desperately tries to find the brother and sister from whom she was brutally separated as a child when their father was murdered before their eyes. To pay Léon, the inspector tasked with finding them, she has no choice but to dance naked. Céleste thus becomes the first stripper in Paris and causes a scandal despite herself. From show to show, as she gains confidence, a new life opens up to her, but the demons of her past keep catching up with her.
Arsène, a young automotive engineer from the wealthy neighborhoods, is preparing to take over the reins of his father’s factory. Promised a good match and a life all mapped out, he cannot bring himself to honor a marriage of convenience while he secretly loves men. He then takes the risk of opposing his father and suddenly breaks off his engagement, unaware that he will thus unearth a heavy secret that will shatter all his certainties.
Rose, a young laundress from the suburbs, deeply in love, is preparing to start a family with her fiancé. But her dream is short-lived when he actually leads her to a brothel where she is locked up. Rose manages to escape, but pursued by her pimps, she throws herself into the Marne and finds herself between life and death. None of our three heroes knows then that blood ties connect them. None of them yet knows that everything is only just beginning… and that their destiny remains to be written, together, under the skies of Montmartre.
