Princess Marie Antoinette arrives in France for a political marriage to Crown Prince Louis XVI, meant to strengthen ties between Austria and France. There she meets Oscar Fançois de Jarjayes, the Commander of the Royal Guard, raised as a man to inherit her father's title despite her longing to live as a woman. As Oscar watches the future queen squander wealth while the impoverished masses suffer, both women find themselves questioning the roles society has forced upon them.
