Frequently asked questions

What is Quills about? Toggle content

"Quills" is a tantalizing tale of passion and rebellion, set in a 19th-century French asylum. A nobleman with a literary flair, the Marquis de Sade, defies the conventions of his time by writing erotically charged stories that scandalize society. His beautiful laundry maid smuggles his manuscripts to a printer, spreading his salacious tales across France and igniting a sexual frenzy. As authorities try to silence him, the Marquis de Sade's unbridled spirit refuses to be tamed. Nominated for three Academy Awards, this seductive drama explores the power of words and the price of freedom.
