Two men are born equal. Two men die the same. Between the point Birth and the point B-Death, two lines that cross, intertwine, diverge or converge, two characters appear. One becomes a powerful king, inspired by the life of Louis XIV, the other, a servant who accompanies him throughout his life. Superb, absolute power, dictatorial power. A man alone with his ghosts and full of himself. A man alone with his castles. Castles of cards. Fragile constructions, fragile equilibrium. Absolute balances. Authoritarian power. Rehearsal of power. How to show others, how to make them obey. Solitude and fear.
