Synopsis

The action plunges us in 1871 during the Commune of Paris. One follows the adventures of various characters taken in the storms of the events: the Tarpagnan Captain, passed on the side communard and in love with CafConc, Gurnard, former convict in the search of that which he thinks of being the murderer of his daughter, Hippolyte Barthélémy, avid police officer of advance trying to solve its investigation.
