The story revolves around Julien and Marguerite de Ravalet, the son and daughter of the Lord of Tourlaville, who have had great affection for one another since they were children. But as they grow up, their tender love turns into an all-consuming passion.

A boldly anachronistic tale of incestuous love from actor-turned-director Valérie Donzelli, this fantastical fable was adapted from a script intended for François Truffaut. With a pair of terrific lead performances, Marguerite & Julien whimsically revises Romeo and Juliet’s star-crossed romance.
