Paris, 1904. The Lapin Agile.

Follow the journey of Macbeth, a valiant Scottish general, whose encounter with three mysterious witches propels him into a tumultuous quest for power. Seduced by the prophesied promise of kingship, Macbeth and his wife, Lady Macbeth, descend into a spiral of betrayal, murder, and madness.
