During the reign of King Louis X the Hutin, his wife Marguerite indulged in parties of pleasure in the secrecy of the Tour de Nesle. Her young lovers were also her victims, and she had them murdered to avoid detection. Such was the fate that awaited Philippe d'Aulnay, who had barely arrived in Paris and who, in one night, had gone from the arms of the sovereign to the bottom of the Seine. What the queen doesn't know is that among his companions in debauchery that night was a certain Buridan. An adventurer, ready to do anything to conquer money and power - including blackmailing the Queen of France... This is the beginning of a merciless war between these two beings, with one spectacular turn of events after another, horrifying revelations and the crossfire of hatred and love.

The documentary delves into Éric Rohmer's distinctive filmmaking process, using film clips, rare interviews, and unreleased test footage.

Three dreams, three stories that explore the charms and dangers of the imagination... In a small café, around 1900, a provincial theater enthusiast recounts his supposed successes to anyone who will listen. In an isolated house in the countryside, two women watch night fall and gradually succumb to terror. In the heart of a psychiatric clinic (with reputedly modern methods), the madmen may not be who we think they are—and they end up turning appearances upside down. Based on plays by Georges Courteline and André de Lorde.
