But behind this adventurous hero from late 19th century popular literature, hides a real life character: Charles de Batz de Castelmore. As a tribute to Dumas - who died 150 years ago - the film confronts fiction and history by revealing the prolific life of this impetuous Gascon whose adventures inspired the legend of cloak and sword!
