Description

In 1871, Paris was ravaged by the Commune's "bloody week", leaving destruction and chaos in its wake. Amidst the devastation, a photographer sought to profit from the suffering of young women by capturing images that were both shocking and alluring. However, as the body count rose, young women began disappearing, and Caroline, a seamstress who volunteered at a first aid station, became one of them. Her fiancé Nicolas, a member of the Commune's National Guard, and security officer Antoine set out to find her, racing against time through the shell-shocked streets of Paris. Their search takes them on a perilous journey, introducing them to a cast of fascinating characters who are all searching for answers in the midst of chaos. As they navigate the treacherous landscape, they must confront the darker aspects of human nature and the true cost of survival in a city torn apart by conflict.
