In early 19th-century France, the Marquis de Sade is confined to an asylum where his forbidden writings continue to circulate beyond its walls. As the authorities tighten control, a clash unfolds between the Marquis’ unyielding imagination, the reformist ideals of the Abbé in charge, and the repressive measures of a doctor sent to silence him. Desire, power, and censorship collide in a battle over freedom of expression.

The Marquis de Sade fights to keep his transgressive ink flowing even as the walls of his asylum close in. This psychological collision between unbridled obsession and rigid moral reform creates a feverish, claustrophobic spectacle.
