Summary: In 1871, the Paris Communes bloody week sees the climax of the clashes between the Communards and the French Armed Forces loyal to Versailles. Amid the chaos, a photographer fascinated by the suffering of young women takes suggestive photos to sell to a particular clientele. Then the young women begin disappearing, and when Caroline is counted among the missing, her fiance Nicolas, a member of the Communes National Guard, and Communal security officer Antoine set off independently in search of her.
