France, late 1700s. Leon Dalville is a prince who has it all - good looks, love and wealth. One mysterious night, however, he loses everything. His young wife passes away in a fire and the prince’s face is permanently marred. To hide his disfigurement, he wears a silver mask that only partially covers his face, turning him into a mysterious and cruel man who is tormented by his past and hated and feared by all. Innocent and naive Bella Dubois comes to Leon’s castle to offer her services as a maid, to pay back the debts her father has with the prince. Leon’s cousin Helene, who has always been in love with him, challenges the prince: he must seduce and abandon Bella. But, despite Helene’s cruel and deceitful tricks, Leon falls in love with Bella.

"Each time I watch this TV mini-series, I appreciate it more. Instead of the usual story in which the prince actually becomes a beast, the story has the actor playing the role of a beastly human. After the death of his wife, he becomes a cruel tyrant and plays around with people's feelings, discarding them out of his life when he wishes. Bella helps them to change his life, but not without consequences to her, her family and the valley in which the prince presides. The acting is pretty good, and the wardrobes are surprisingly good for this type of series."
