An 18th-century seduction drama where cynical manipulation gives way to genuine passion, set against a visually ornate Baroque backdrop.

Set in Baroque France, a scheming widow and her lover make a bet regarding the corruption of a recently married woman.

However, in the process of seducing the married woman, Valmont falls in love.
