| Summary | The official history is clear: Russia's imperial family, the Romanovs, met a gruesome end in a Siberian basement in 1918. Yet, in the quiet corners of 1920s Paris, a lonely student named Julien Remy is about to stumble upon a truth that defies the annals of revolution. Burdened by poverty and melancholia, Remy finds unexpected solace in the enigmatic Georges d’Orsai and his devoted sister, Jeanne. Georges, frail and afflicted with a rare hereditary illness, possesses a captivating beauty that draws Remy in. As Remy connects the siblings' circumstances to his studies of Russian imperial history, a shocking possibility emerges: could these two be the last vestiges of a massacred dynasty? Caught between a burgeoning affection and the weight of a hidden past, Remy must confront a profound dilemma.
