At the end of 1788, all of France was paid for the land revolution, but only a few men could scatter the seed able to make it sprout. One of them, Philippe de Vilmorin, young seminarian educated in the new ideals, is killed in unequal duel for the Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr for denouncing the despotism of the privileged classes and possessing the dangerous gift of eloquence. Before the lifeless body of his friend, Andre-Louis Moreau, pragmatic lawyer and not given to the angry defense of any idea swears spread throughout the country the voice that the aristocrat wanted silence with death. Accused of sedition, becomes part of a troupe of strolling players. Its keenness and talent on stage will make you succeed both on stage, hidden under the mask of Scaramouche, as in the Assembly, where it will be the champion of the Third Estate.
