An adaptation of La Sorcière from Jules Michelet

Celeste has failed with Victor and has a little boy. Césaire would still like to marry Céleste, a beautiful and hard-working girl. His father, old Amable, did not hear him that way but ended up giving in. Less than a year later, Césaire dies. Between Father Amable and his daughter-in-law, a cold and silent war begins.

A beautiful felon, sentenced to life in prison for the murder of a policeman, is given a second chance – as a secret political assassin controlled by the government.
