Meet the Marquis de Sade. The pleasure is all his.

A provocative, intellectually charged drama about artistic freedom and repression set in a Napoleonic asylum, where desire and ideology clash in an increasingly dark power struggle.

In early 19th-century France, the Marquis de Sade is confined to an asylum where his forbidden writings continue to circulate beyond its walls. As the authorities tighten control, a clash unfolds between the Marquis’ unyielding imagination, the reformist ideals of the Abbé in charge, and the repressive measures of a doctor sent to silence him. Desire, power, and censorship collide in a battle over freedom of expression.
