In France in 1719, four years after the death of Louis XIV, [[Philippe II, Duke of Orléans]] is the regent for the young Louis XV. He is cultured, gentle, a liberal and a libertine. He endeavors to keep his subjects cultured and happy to stop the peasants from rising up, but he knows he has no real royal authority. To assist, D'Orleans enlists the aid of an atheistic and cupid priest named Dubois, who is as libertine as Philippe, and unfortunately does not care for anyone except himself. Philippe becomes distraught after his daughter, with whom he has been accused of committing incest, dies. Meanwhile, a rebellion lead by a Breton squire named Pontallec occurs. Philippe's natural idealism is further shaken when he must execute a band of revolutionaries. Dubois, however, tries to take advantage of the revolt and famine to become archbishop. It becomes apparent that true joy will only be found when the peasants successfully overthrow the aristocrats who held them down for so long.
