September 1914. For several weeks, the fighting has been raging. In a small village in eastern France, a few kilometers from the German area, four women find themselves thrown into the heart of the horror: Marguerite (Audrey Fleurot), a Parisian prostitute as mysterious as she is flamboyant, who is suspected of being a spy; Caroline (Sofia Essaïdi), wife of Victor Dewitt, owner of a car factory, who has left for the front.

These two will have to learn to work together, immersed in an investigation that will lead them from the hortillonnages of Amiens to the town of Le Crotoy, Jules Verne's holiday resort where, 20 years ago, a drama of adolescence took place in a closed educational center, mixing horror with the enchantment of the author's world.

In 2025, thanks to a new technology, police officers can immerse themselves in crime scenes reconstructed in virtual reality.
The day Ludovic, a police captain, uses VR to analyze the crime scene of a drowned woman on a beach in Brest, someone appears to him. But this person should not be here and for good reason. It is Melanie, the love of his life, mother of his daughter, who died on this same beach 27 years ago!
Ludovic must accept the unbelievable: a space-time rift has opened. He can communicate with Melanie, she is in 1998, he is in 2025!
Very quickly, it becomes clear that the death of this drowned woman and Melanie's are linked : they were killed by the same person. An investigation over two eras begins, but also a race against time...
Ludovic wants more than anything to save Melanie... However by changing the past he risks losing his present life, which has been so long to rebuild: his new wife, Parvana, and his son, Sam...

The story in a few lines:

Chanteloube Wood. The body of Antoine Noiret, an eminent professor of oncology, is found in the Mare au Diable. Ritual signs found around the pond suggest that the victim had been sacrificed during a Sabbath, a witchcraft ceremony. Was it a real human sacrifice or a tragic overflow of a cultural event organized by local artists? For Basile Tissier, a policeman in Bourges sent to investigate as an observer, the investigation begins in the heart of the Berrichonne countryside, the one he grew up in and which he has fled. A countryside where rationality competes with the irrationality of magnetizers and witch doctors, and where George Sand has left her lasting mark. Fortunately, he can count on the help and clairvoyance of Solène Durel, a country doctor, who knows the local people well but also... The victim.

This Friday, August 30, Mrs. Anne Hidalgo came to inaugurate at the Paris Halles the exhibition on The Bonfire of Destiny in the presence of Mr. Ara Aprikian, TF1 Director of Programs, and Mrs. Iris Bucher, President of the production company Quad Television.

The Bazar de la Charité, the site of a charity sale, was razed to the ground in a few minutes by a terrible fire in 1897 causing the death of hundreds of people, mostly aristocratic women and their maids. TF1, a partner of the exhibition, will soon broadcast a prime-time series on this drama named The Bonfire of Destiny, written by Catherine Ramberg and Karine Spreuzkouski and directed by Alexandre Laurent, featuring Audrey Fleurot, Julie de Bona, Camille Lou, Gilbert Melki, Josiane Balasko, Antoine Duléry, Florence Pernel, Théo Fernandez, Victor Meutelet, François-David Cardonnel, Stéphane Guillon, Aurélien Wiik and Gilles Cohen.

Found at the scene of the crime, Victor, a young man with Down syndrome, is the main suspect and everything seems to point to him. Pauline Lebrun, gendarmerie lieutenant and sister of the suspect, is immediately dismissed from the investigation and replaced by the captain of the Montpellier SR, Thomas Costella. She will not cease from then on to fight to protect her brother and try to exonerate him. But this fight will not be without consequences for her and her entourage...

TF1 and Netflix announced, during Séries Mania, their first alliance to co-finance the period series The Bonfire of Destiny, written by Catherine Ramberg and Karine Spreuzkouski. Co-produced by Quad Télévision and TF1, the historical drama, directed by Alexandre Laurent, opens with the terrible fire in the Bazar de la Charité, a building housing a charity event popular with the Parisian public. This tragedy causes the death of nearly 120 people - mostly women of Parisian high society and their maids. Three women see their fates turned upside down, Adrienne de Lenverpré (Audrey Fleurot), Alice de Jeansin (Camille Lou) and Rose Rivière (Julie de Bona). The cast is completed by Gilbert Melki, Josiane Balasko, Antoine Duléry, Florence Pernel, Théo Fernandez, Victor Meutelet, François-David Cardonnel, Stéphane Guillon, Aurélien Wiik and Gilles Cohen.

This new collaboration with TF1 offers Netflix "an additional opportunity to give worldwide visibility to an ambitious and high-quality French fiction". "This unusual upstream agreement shows that we can find ingenious financing solutions to showcase French excellence, while bringing pleasure to our members in 190 countries," said Ted Sarandos, Netflix's content manager. This alliance marks a turning point in the production of French content where it is the first time Netflix has pre-financed an original series initiated by a French broadcaster or production company. Ara Aprikian, TF1's Director of Programming, said that this "link reflects a shared ambition around the Bonfire of Destiny, a blockbuster production in resolutely modern French costumes".

France 2 announced the broadcast of the prime-time mini-series Victor Hugo, Enemy of the State on November 5th and 6th, 2018. Written by Sophie Hiet and Jean-Marc Moutoutout, based on a concept by Iris Bucher and directed by Jean-Marc Moutout, this historical drama follows the journey of the famous author, who became a committed member of parliament, in the heart of a Paris in the throes of political upheaval. This series plunges us both into the intimacy of the man of letters - his family life, his tumultuous love affairs, his doubts, his convictions - and into a period of French history as exciting as it is little known (1848 - 1851), the period that saw the country change from Republic to Empire.

On this occasion, the public service put in place an unprecedented mechanism by uniting around Victor Hugo. France 2, France 5 and France Culture will offer different programs throughout the week to evoke the many facets of this genius of French literature.

According to a Mediamétrie study, French national dramas have broken audience records against their American rivals.

On the small screen, French fiction largely dominated its American rival in 2016. Among the ten best fiction audiences of the year nine were French, including the top seven. This is what a Médiamétrie study published on Thursday reveals. The trend is therefore on the rise since the previous year, seven national dramas were included in the same ranking. In 2014, the number was down to six and in 2013 to five.

Compared to other programs, tricolor fiction also stands out: out of the fifty best TV audiences, 20 programs were French fiction against 15 in 2015, 2 in 2014 and 0 in 2012.

In spite of the Olympic Games and the soccer Euro, French fiction has even outstripped sports - with 13 programs in the top 50 TV ratings for the year. For ten national dramas, the audience bar even exceeded six million viewers. This is the case for The Secret of Elise on TF1 for example, with an average of 8,3 million viewers, or Flic tout simplement which brought in 6,5 million viewers.

According to a survey conducted last December, French people highly appreciate French fiction because it is perceived as realistic and tackling social issues, with series such as Plus Belle La Vie (France 3) or Clem (TF1). More than a quarter of the French (29,4%) also want more French fiction in the grids and 4 out of 10 consider that there are too many US fictions, according to the same survey.
