Mme Roland and her forbidden love in the French Revolution
In 1863 Paris a scholar discovers Mme Roland's memoir fragment behind a dilapidated miniature, revealing her youth, marriage to Roland de la Platiere, and a forbidden passion for Buzet. She balances duty and desire while directing revolutionary efforts, ends in the Conciergerie and guillotine, writing memoirs in prison.
