In 1789, as tensions between the pro-royalist and pro-Republican factions grow, DOMINIQUE LARREY (19) sets off for the Hotel Dieu in Paris for medical training. On his first day, Larrey meets XAVIER BICHAT (20s), SISTER THERESE (?), and RENALDO (?). Bichat invites Larrey to a presentation by DR. DESAULT (?), one of the teachers. Larrey agrees and watches Desault oversee the treatment of TIPHAINE (?), an actress.
Larrey quickly impresses Desault but is dismayed to learn that the Hotel Dieu does not offer a stipend or food. Despite this, Larrey decides to remain at the Hotel Dieu for medical training. During this time, Larrey sees the MONSIGNOR DIRECTOR (?) of the Hotel Dieu and the MARQUIS DE GERMONT (?), the head of the hospital’s board of directors.

EARNEST (?), a medical student, lashes out at Desault and the Hotel Dieu’s senior staff for denying Renaldo access to the Hotel Dieu’s elite ward for better treatment. Desault dismisses Earnest from the program.
Meanwhile, Tiphaine invites Desault and Larrey to the theater to see her perform. At the theater, a riot breaks out. Larrey goes backstage to see Tiphaine. He discovers...
