Paris under Louis Philippe, Boulevard du Crime. Love and death played out among the actors and buffoons. From here, the love shared by the beautiful Garance and the mime Jean-Baptiste Debureau is ever countered by a fickle destiny. Around them, other fates are decided – that of the dandy and murderer Lacenaire, of Nathalie who marries Jean-Baptiste but can’t forget her rival, of Frederick whose one true love is the theater.
