Movies | “The Whims of the Child King”

1651. Louis (not yet XIV) is a young teenager. As the Fronde looms, his mother, Anne of Austria, decides to smuggle her son out of the country to keep him safe and replaces him with a lookalike. D’Artagnan entrusts Louis to Cyrano de Bergerac, who hides him within the theater troupe led by Madeleine Béjart and Molière. While Madeleine and Cyrano discover a shared passion for the young Molière, Louis discovers life and its pleasures, art and work, courage and strategy—everything that will make him the Sun King.
