This French film from a Polish director explores a famous friendship soured by politics and corruption. Georges Danton (Gérard Depardieu) and Maximilien Robespierre (Wojciech Pszoniak) fought side by side during the French Revolution.

Robespierre goes to Paris to remove his old friend from power, but Danton will not go down without a fight.
