Lady Oscar
The glamour, the strife, the intrigue of 18th century France!
Directed by Jacques Demy
Produced by TOHO, Nippon Television Network Corporation
A sweeping historical drama about a woman caught between her privileged identity and revolutionary conscience, navigating love, duty, and the collapse of the old order.
Oscar François de Jarjayes was born female, but her father insisted she be raised as a boy as he had no sons. She becomes the captain of the guards at Versailles under King Louis XVI and Marie Antonette. Her privileged, noble life comes under fire as she discovers the hard life of the poor people of France. She is caught up in the French Revolution, and must choose between her loyalty and love.
