The story

The middle-aged Marquis de Sade Louis Alphonse Donatien arrives at his ancestral estate of La Coste, having escaped incarceration. In the theater at the castle, he meets his uncle, the Abbé, who persuades him to stay to watch an entertainment that has been prepared for him. The play is a parody of the Marquis' parents Jean-Baptiste and Marie-Éléonore haggling with Monsieur and Madame Montreuil over the prospective marriage of their children, leading to a flashback in time to the actual negotiations.
