Description:

Sir Percy Blakeney, a seemingly frivolous and effete English aristocrat of the 18th century, conceals a secret life in the shadows. Unknown to his acquaintances, he is a key figure in an underground network dedicated to liberating French nobility from the oppressive clutches of Robespierre's Reign of Terror. Navigating the intricate web of deception and treachery, he assumes multiple identities and risks everything in his pursuit for justice and freedom. The film explores themes of courage, loyalty, and the hidden depths that lie beneath the surface of societal appearances.
