Antoinette is the Duchess of Langeais, a
married coquette who frequents the most extravagant balls in
1820's Paris during The Restoration, where hypocrisy and
vanity reign. Upon the handsome general, Armand de
Montriveau's first meeting with her, he realized it was true
love from that moment on. Flattered by his attentions, the
alluring Antoinette orchestrates a calculating game of
seduction, but she repeatedly refuses Montriveau. Despite
his sincere romantic declarations, Montriveau's passion
remains unfulfilled. When the humiliated Montriveau
eventually seeks his revenge, Antoinette's love awakens. But
it may well be too late for the star-crossed lovers.
