Paris, the late 19th-century.  Revolutionaries and Monarchists fight in the streets, and the painter Martin Grandjean joins the ranks of those hoping to re-establish the Old Republic.  He meets a mysterious young man called Ari and falls in love, only to see Ari taken prisoner.  Everyone turns against Grandjean; his friends, his family, and even the government.  But Grandjean is determined to find Ari, win his love, and make a life with him.
