Sabotage
Synopsis
He has spent his whole life building a personality full of strength, determination, charisma and mystery. But as happens to some rock stars, he now finds that 'super-leader' image asphyxiating and almost unbearable.
Meanwhile, one of his aides, the marechal Hugo Armani, has only one dream: to be like his idol, his sun, his guide, his Emperor.
During the battle of Waterloo, Armani's secret longing breaks through the frontier of desire to become first an obsession, then a severe neurosis and, finally, the first case of Napoleonic Delirium in modern psychiatry.
