SYNOPSIS

Paul Cezanne and Émile Zola were friends when both were starting their careers. Through ups and downs Zola became financially successful long before Cezanne. He was married and had a successful career as an author. Paul Cezanne then decided to live in the country far away from the city, and told Zola not to be part of the establishment but to fight for truth and justice again. He is approached by Lucie Dreyfus, who’s husband was unjustly court martialed and sent to Devil’s Island because he was accused of betraying his country by disclosing military secrets.
