Summary
In the waning days of the Consulate, Napoleon Bonaparte, a man of meteoric ambition and restless heart, severs his bond with the steadfast Josephine de Beauharnais, casting her aside for the icy allure of an Austrian archduchess. The narrative unfurls as a tapestry of political machination and personal betrayal, with Josephine—still imbued with an unyielding fidelity—emerging from the shadows to thwart the treacherous designs of the conniving De Beaumont. The film charts the emperor’s ascent and moral erosion, juxtaposing his imperial grandeur against the quiet heroism of a woman whose love, though scorned, becomes the linchpin of his salvation.
Synopsis
