Synopsis: As he lies dying, Balzac sees his entire past flash before his eyes. A young, mistreated writer, he is driven by the desire to achieve something great. Supported by Laure de Berny, he ventures into printing and publishing without much success, but it is with his pen that he will achieve glory, thanks to Madame de Berny's unwavering support. Balzac becomes a writer devoured by readers.
