The Golden Age
Jeanne is taken by a group of resistance fighters to the place of her execution. During this journey to death, she reflects on the capricious destiny that led her there. From her childhood in her parents' butcher's shop at the dawn of the 20th century, to the years of wandering in Paris, her encounter with the intrepid Céleste, then her reunion with Guillaume de Barante, her adventures in the war, in Brazil or during the Roaring Twenties, to her fulfilled dream of becoming a countess. Jeanne has crossed the century like a long flight forward that is inexorably leading her towards her fall.
