action
Charles Henri Sanson grew up as the son of the Paris executioner in France in the mid-18th century. Because of his father, he is not accepted at any school and everyone shuns him. And finally he should take over the office of his father, which the boy is reluctant to do. The cold-hearted father uses torture to force the son to submit to his fate and prepare for the future role of executioner. When Charles is supposed to behead a lion to show his skills at the feast of the Count of Chartois, he refuses to kill an innocent animal. This earned him respect from the audience at the festival - also from the Count's son, in whom Charles hopes to have found a friend. However, his first real duty is to execute the count's son.
