L’Ingénu

A young Native American arrives in Lower Brittany and turns the heads of the entire district. And in particular that of the beautiful Saint-Yves, with whom he falls hopelessly in love. But soon, people are outraged that he is not Catholic!

An express religious initiation and a baptism later, he learns that he cannot marry his beloved because she was his godmother during the sacrament.

From then on, everything unravels: the Ingénu heads to Versailles to obtain a dispensation from King Louis XIV and finds himself confronted with the corruption of the powerful, abuses of power, and injustice.
