In a key scene, Grace (Lucy Russell) stands on a balcony in a Paris suburb and gazes back at the smoky city, where—as described to her by a servant looking through a spyglass—Louis XVI is being put to death.
A woman whose noblesse oblige enables her to rise to the most extreme situations, Grace hobbles on foot alone to her château outside the city walls—only to return to Paris on a mission that involves smuggling a wounded aristo past the sansculotte mobs to the safety of her boudoir.
Grace is introduced arguing politics with her former lover, the Duke of Orléans (Jean-Claude Dreyfus), a constitutional monarchist who has turned against his class and his cousin Louis.

 Scotland on Sunday - At Play - Film Reviews
FAMED for her romantic entanglements, Royalist leanings and stiff upper lip resolve, Scottish aristocrat Grace Dalrymple Elliott spent the dark aftermath of the French Revolution trapped in Paris.
Maintaining the bland front of her domestic routine, she became a real-life Scarlet Pimpernel risking her life to conceal fugitive nobleman the Marquise de Champcenetz and brazenly voicing her opposition to the atrocities around her.
Elliott’s memoir, Journal of My Life During The French Revolution has now inspired a technically bold but dramatically uneven costume drama with a formidable performance from Lucy Russell as Grace.

The mistress of this seminary was perhaps one of the most extraordinary women that ever graced, or disgraced, society; her name was Meribah Lorrington.
These pages are the pages of truth, unadorned by romance and unembellished by the graces of phraseology, and I know that I have been sufficiently the victim of events too well to become the tacit acquiescer where I have been grossly misrepresented.
With a mixture of timidity and hope I sent her Grace a neatly bound volume of my poems, accompanied by a short letter apologising for their defects, and pleading my age as the only excuse for their inaccuracy.
