Five continents

The epic true story of an ordinary man caught in a world of great power, corruption and extravagance. Louis XIV rules at Versailles, but in the west of France, one province is out of favor--and on the verge of ruin. Prince de Cond has come up with a plan to get his province out of debt: he'll invite the king to his country chateau for a weekend of spectacle and merriment. If he can get back in the king's good graces, the royal coffers will open, and his region can avoid economic disaster. The whole plan rests on the one man who can deliver the sumptuous food, elaborate entertainment and all-out decadence fit for this king...Vatel.
