The Iron Mask: The Enigma of the Sun King

Hidden until his final breath, imprisoned for 34 years without ever being tried, the mysterious Man in the Iron Mask still haunts the history of France. Was he a secret brother of Louis XIV? A spy? A mere valet, unwitting witness to a state secret? Or a man whose face alone could never be seen?

Told in the first person by the Sun King himself, this documentary series reopens the investigation through captivating storytelling, expert analysis, and striking AI-designed visual reconstructions.

From the prisons of Pignerol to the cells of the Bastille, each episode explores a different hypothesis, dismantles false leads, and uncovers the political undercurrents of a carefully suppressed scandal.

For behind the mask lies an obsession with secrecy… and the making of Louis XIV’s legend.
