François Vatel is the loyal and devoted master of ceremonies of the bankrupt Prince de Condé. The aristocrat needs to recover the favor of King Louis XIV (1643-1715) and hopes that he will give him command of the troops in a new war against Holland. For this reason, when the king, accompanied by the court, decides to visit Condé at his Château de Chantilly, he commissions Vatel to organize, sparing no expense, a spectacular reception that will last three days and three nights.
