Que la fête commence… (1975)
En France, pendant le premier quart du XVIIIème : Le roi Louis XV (arrière petit fils et successeur de Louis XIV) étant mineur, la régence est assurée par son grand-oncle, le duc d'Orléans, débauché notoire, entouré d'une cour de prostituées et de jouisseurs délurés. En Bretagne, le marquis de Pontcallec fomente un complot destiné à renverser le duc au profit du roi Philippe V d'Espagne, petit-fils de Louis XIV et oncle du jeune souverain. Il espère ainsi redonner son indépendance à la Bretagne - en la libérant de ses devoirs de vassalité envers le pouvoir parisien - et y proclamer la république. L'abbé Dubois, premier ministre complaisant du régent et manipulateur ambitieux, se charge de mettre fin à la conspiration tout en l'utilisant pour assouvir ses propres ambitions.
