A silent film, destroyed in a fire in 1914 at the Pathé studio, before it was seen even by its director.

A famous and dashing creator of spectacular cinematic illusions - husband to a beautiful, volatile actress, the most adored icon of the Parisian studios. All fit together, like scenes in a movie. One with a twist that will leave you breathless ...
