A prelude to the classic story about an epic romance that oscillates between love and war.
A bold prelude to Laclos’ classic 18th century novel, telling the origin story of how his iconic character the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont met as passionate young lovers in Paris on the eve of the revolution. Driven to right the wrongs of their past, we follow the couple as they rise from the slums of Paris to scale the heights of the French aristocracy.
