Summary
From writer-director Lionel Baillemont, who also appears in a starring role, this production was released in 2025, first as a miniseries and later as a feature-length "director's cut" film. Set in 1620s France, the story centers on a nobleman's wife who decides to lock her philandering husband in their castle's chapel. Her aim is to prevent his extramarital affairs and to stop him from converting to Protestantism. While the situation is played for laughs, the presence of newcomer Faustine Valgrand raises the question of who is truly imprisoning whom.
