In the spring of 1789, France is devastated by famine. The French people begin to rise in unrest against the ruling French king Louis XVI.

The two fall in love during the tumultuous stirrings of the French Revolution, their romance playing out amid encounters with major Revolutionary figures such as Georges Jacques Danton, Maximilien de Robespierre and Camille Desmoulins.
