A 13th-century romance so pretty you'll want to frame every shot and cry into your goblet.
Flore is the son of a king, Blancheflore the daughter of a slave. The two children grow up together until they reach adolescence, but when the adults see the love between them blossoming, they decide to separate them. In this beautiful adaptation of a 13th-century tale, the staging, sets and costumes give us the impression of being immersed in medieval miniatures.
