Paris, 1832. A young man is accused of a double murder, that of his male lover and his own mother. In his prison cell, during his last night, he relives the nightmare of the murders, his trial and the shock of a death sentence. A night of hell before facing the guillotine in the morning. Strong language and nudity.
