Paris, 1887. Duelling is an officially forbidden but still common practice of adjudicating disputes and defending honour. Well, if you're a man... But according to Marie-Rose Astié de Valsayre, it shouldn't stay that way. A courageous and intelligent woman decides to set an example and confront the arrogance and superiority of men with a gun in her hand. She therefore seeks the help of the unapproachable and tough swordsmith Clément Lacaz, who has just lost his young nephew in an unequal duel. An initially unimaginable alliance becomes an unexpected challenge for the two disparate characters, in which matters of honour and heart intersect.


Inspired by true events, Vincent Perez's film is a sparkling blend of historical drama and old-school adventure film.
