The Wrong Side of Paris

Godefroid, a thirty-year-old failure, seeks solace in a monastery-like lodging house near Notre-Dame, overseen by the noble yet tragic Madame de La Chanterie. The house is home to men shaped by the aftermath of the French Revolution, dedicated to charitable acts. Inspired by their mission, Godefroid embarks on a secret journey to rescue a noble family living in slum conditions. There, he encounters a beautiful Polish woman oblivious to her family's suffering. Through this quest, Godefroid seeks spiritual redemption and a deeper understanding of virtue.
