The intertwining fates of the historical figures, the men and the women of the 1789 French revolution, as they meet at the newly established Assemblée Nationale.

Paris, 1789. The Bastille has been stormed and a breath of liberty blows through the streets of Paris. Françoise, a young washerwoman, and Basile, without a family or a name, discover the unique exhilaration of love and revolution. With their friends and the working-class people of Paris, they begin to realize dreams of emancipation in the newly-formed assembly where they witness, with both hope and doubt, the creation of a new political system. Their debates and the riots on the streets hold the fate of their once-sacred king and the birth of a republic. Freedom has a story.—Happy_Evil_Dude
