January 1649: Since the death of his father, the young Louis XIV must undergo the hard apprenticeship of royal power. He must face the intrigues of the great ones of the kingdom who lead La Fronde, the agreements and the betrayals of those close to him. He is helped in this by his mother Anne of Austria and by the Cardinal Mazarin.
