In a bohemian Paris of the late 19th century, two of the most passionate figures in poetry find themselves in a tumultuous yet creatively charged relationship. Arthur Rimbaud, a young writing prodigy, is a free spirit known for his rebelliousness and challenging artistic vision. On the other hand, Paul Verlaine, a more mature poet, is already established in the literary scene, caught between his traditional marriage and his desire for expressive freedom.
The story begins with the intense encounter of these two talents. Attraction and rivalry bloom as their connection becomes a storm of love and turmoil. Rimbaud seduces Verlaine with his genius and audacity, leading the older poet to abandon his conventional life and immerse himself in a world of passion and madness.
However, the shadows of obsession and madness begin to loom over their relationship. As Rimbaud plunges into a life of excess, driving Verlaine into a state of emotional despair, their romance turns into a battlefield between love, madness, and inspiration. The words of both poets become tools of self-destruction and revelation as they explore the boundaries of desire and creativity. With every verse written, their fates intertwine in a spiral of splendor and destruction that will change their lives forever.
