The play is set in Rome during the years 1869 to 1871 and revolves around complex themes of love, identity, and familial dynamics. The narrative centers on the character of Pensée, a blind young woman who grapples with her feelings towards two brothers, Orian and Orso de Homodarmes, against the backdrop of societal expectations and political upheaval. The opening of "Le père humilié" introduces us to a beautifully described scene in the gardens of the Villa Wronsky during the celebration of Saint Pie. As various characters gather, we are drawn into the poignant relationship between Pensée and her mother, Sichel, where Pensée expresses her awareness of beauty despite her blindness. The dialogue captures her internal struggles and rich emotional landscape as she interacts with Orian. The scene unfolds amidst the lively social backdrop, hinting at deeper intrigues and connections that will develop in the play, particularly surrounding familial loyalty and the nature of love in a shifting political landscape.
