Bonfire of Destiny

In 1897 Paris, a blaze at the Bazar de la Charite kills over 100 and shatters lives. From the ashes, three women rise: an aristocrat escaping a cruel marriage, a young heiress trapped by family duty, and her maid seeking freedom. All three fight to rewrite their destinies in a society built to silence them. From Walter Presents, in French with English subtitles.
