Quienes vengan después de nosotros pensarán que son solo cuentos de hadas...
Esta ambiciosa superproducción franco-canadiense gira en torno a la historia del palacio de Versalles desde su construcción en 1667. Tras pasar por una infancia conflictiva y humillante, el monarca Luis XIV (George Blagden) se revela a sus 28 años como un estratega político fuera de lo común. Con el fin de someter a la nobleza e imponer definitivamente su poder absoluto, el déspota rey ordena la construcción de Versalles y lo concibe como una jaula de oro para mantener a los nobles bajo su control, distanciándose de ellos al tiempo que les entretiene con caprichos y distracciones. Mientras tanto, mantiene una relación con su cuñada Ana (Dominic Blanc), esposa de su hermano Felipe I (Alexander Vlahos).
