Paris, 1793. Évariste Gamelin is a poor young painter, dutiful to his mother, tender with the woman he loves, and a believer in the Revolution with all the purity he has. He is appointed a juror of the Revolutionary Tribunal. From then on he signs more death sentences every day, and every day his faith demands more blood to prove itself right. When Robespierre falls in Thermidor, the guillotine turns back on the men who worked it.
