“The Queen of Judah has gained her throne by eliminating the Royal Princes, but one is still alive and protected by the high priest. In a dream the Queen sees the young Prince as a king. She orders an assault on the Temple but when the Priest draws back a curtain to reveal the child king on his throne, she rushes from the scene believing it to be the fulfilment of her dream (incomplete).” - BFI.

Yet another film adaptation of the renown 1874 French play "The Two Orphans" (Les Deux Orphelines) by Adolphe d'Ennery and Eugène Cormon, about two adoptive sisters who are violently separated upon arriving to Paris during the outbreak of the French Revolution.
