1774, shortly before the French Revolution, somewhere between Potsdam and Berlin. Madame de Dumeval, the Duc de Tesis and the Duc de Wand, libertines expelled from the puritanical court of Louis XVI, seek the support of the legendary Duc de Walchen, German seducer and freethinker, lonely in a country where hypocrisy and false virtue reign. Their mission is to export libertinage, a philosophy of enlightenment founded on the rejection of moral boundaries and authorities, but moreover to find a safe place to pursue their errant games, where the quest for pleasure no longer obeys laws other than those dictated by unfulfilled desires.
Liberté

Albert Serra
Banyoles, ES
Albert Serra, the Catalan maverick, weaves cinematic tapestries. His films, featuring non-professional actors and artistic adaptations, challenge conventional norms. With a minimalist style, he reimagines history and blurs the lines between theatre and film.
Albert Serra (b. 1975) is a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker. After studying philosophy and literature, he transitioned to playwriting and video art. His breakthrough came with HONOR OF THE KNIGHTS in 2006, a unique adaptation of Don Quijote featuring non-professional actors from his village, earning recognition at Cannes' Directors' Fortnight.
«It’s fascinating to film today’s world and I do so without any ideology, without preconceived ideas or the wish to channel a voice and a stance on the era. I’m only interested in pictures. In this instance, the depiction of a paradise which has us wondering whether it really does exist or whether it’s only a mirage».
