The story

The film centers around the final years of Napoleon Bonaparte (Philippe Torreton) during his forced exile on the remote island of Saint Helena in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, while being under the watchful eye of the inflexible and petty British governor, Sir Hudson Lowe (Richard E. Grant). Far from being a straightforward historical account, the plot unfolds as a retrospective investigation through the eyes of the young, liberal, Lieutenant Basil Heathcote (Jay Rodan), a British officer stationed on the island who develops a growing fascination with the captive emperor.
