==Plot==
In 1793, during the [French Revolution](/source/French_Revolution), a young woman named Céline ([Sophie Marceau](/source/Sophie_Marceau)), who was adopted by Count Savinien de Kerfadec, must choose between two men who have been raised like her brothers, Tarquin Larmor ([Lambert Wilson](/source/Lambert_Wilson)) and Aurèle de Kerfadec ([Stéphane Freiss](/source/St%C3%A9phane_Freiss)), while they take opposite sides in the conflict. Tarquin, also adopted by the Count, is a partisan of the [First French Republic](/source/First_French_Republic) and defends the new political system; Aurèle, the Count's natural son, supports Royalism. Both sons are in love with Céline. After the [French Revolutionary Army](/source/French_Revolutionary_Army) decimates the [Breton people](/source/Breton_people), an insurgency of peasants, clergy, and aristocrats launches a [guerrilla](/source/guerrilla) war called the [Chouannerie](/source/Chouannerie).
