A meeting across history of a young executioner on the eve of a life change and a woman the Grand Guignol forgot. In time, perhaps Marguerite Cane and Paula Maxa can save each other's souls.
PAULA MAXA: 50s, any ethnicity, female-identifying, the most
assassinated woman in France, the most prolific actress of
the Grand Guignol. Devastated by the fall of her art form.
MARGUERITE CANE: 20s-30s, any ethnicity, female-identifying,
one of France's longest-serving female executioners.
Searching for meaning during a revolution which forces her
to execute people she admires.
