The film"s page

L’Angleterre au Moyen-Age. Dans une auberge où séjournent de nombreux pèlerins, venus se rendre à la cathédrale de Canterbury, l’écrivain Chaucer va proposer à chacun des voyageurs de raconter une histoire. Les récits vont s’entremêler, entre querelles familiales, désirs lubriques et sombres affaires religieuses.

Note : le film est adapté de l’oeuvre du même nom de l’écrivain anglais Geoffrey Chaucer.
