Sade

It is the fifth year of the French revolution. The republic has just been announced and the country is in a state of chaos. The guillotine is working overtime and people are being beheaded left, right and centre. In this bloody period of French history, the Marquis de Sade has already been arrested for indecent behavior on several occasions, In Sade we follow the controversial writer, philosopher and aristocrat as he is again imprisoned and taken to the resting home of Picpus. Here the French aristocracy leads a fading existence in the shadow of the revolution, barely aware of the fact that they are prime prey for the guillotine. But they quickly become the victims of Sade's taboo theories and sadomasochistic fantasies. Sade is about the most forbidden of human drives, taking place in one of the periods of greatest upheaval in history
