The notorious 18th-century sex writer Marquis de Sade (Geoffrey Rush) is imprisoned in Charenton Asylum. He befriends the director of the asylum, Abbe Coulmier (Joaquin Phoenix), and determinedly persists in penning his kinky prose while a friendly washerwoman (Kate Winslet) helps to sneak his writings to the publisher. But things change fast when Napoleon sends in a doctor (Michael Caine) to cure the Marquis of his supposed madness.
