Synopsis

Paris, 1789. The Bastille has been stormed and a breath of liberty blows through the streets of Paris. Françoise, a young washerwoman, and Basile, a drifter with neither name, nor family, together discover the unique exhilaration of revolution and love. With their comrades and the working-class people of Paris, they begin to realise a dream of emancipation in the newly formed assembly where they witness, with both hopes and doubts, the creation of a new political system. Within their debates and the riots on the streets hold the fate of their once sacred king and the birth of a republic. Freedom has a story.

Director’s Statement

I wanted to film a people who is active. A people who invent a destiny, debate, hope, mobilise. These people built their sovereignty, established new relations of equality, ordained new rights. They founded a republic. These people are not an invention of the current times. They existed. They were born in 1789. That summer, these people entered a revolution. Let’s hear them. They have things to tell us.
