The Golden Age of Decadence

Sinopse

In 19th-century Paris, mysterious spirits from the Lethe Valley are stealing words from people, a phenomenon that can be combated with poetry. The renowned poet Baudelaire finds himself afflicted by these spirits, facing a fate he deems worse than death. Recognizing an untapped talent in Cocteau, an illiterate orphan, Baudelaire decides to mentor him in poetry. The narrative explores whether Cocteau can master poetry despite his inability to read and delves into the motivations behind the spirits' word-stealing actions.
