In 16th century Paris, a Protestant wife must prove the values of her newfound faith to her Catholic husband amidst ‘The St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre’; a religiously motivated genocide that he is hellbent on taking part in.

‘Chacun voit midi á sa porte’ is a French expression which when translated means, ‘Everyone sees noon at his doorstep’. It refers to the notion that every individual is solely concerned with his or her personal interests, and each feel their subjective opinions as objective truths.

Everyone sees noon at his doorstep. Everyone believes that the sun sets on their home first.

When the phrase is uttered, the common response is, ‘Inutile de discuter’, it is “Useless to argue”, since every individual sees themselves as right.
