Plots(1)
In 17th century France, the Marquis de Bardelys, a charming womaniser and favourite of the king, lays a wager that he can wed the beautiful but prickly Roxalanne, the daughter of a landowner who opposes the court. Disguised as a wanted insurrectionist, he gains her trust – and then her love. But when Roxalanne sees through the masquerade, she betrays him to his pursuers and he is threatened with the gallows. (Berlinale)
