The story

In 1789, on the eve of the French Revolution, the court at the Palace of Versailles still live their routines, relatively unconcerned by the increasing turmoil in Paris a mere twenty miles away. The routines are seen through the eyes of the young Sidonie Laborde, who serves Queen Marie Antoinette. When news about the storming of the Bastille reaches the Court, most aristocrats and servants desert the Palace and abandon the royal family, fearing that the government is falling.
