Synopsis: At the moment of dying, Balzac sees his whole past pass by. Young writer abused, he is driven by the desire to achieve something great. Supported by Laure de Berny, he launched into printing and publishing without much success, but it was with his pen that he achieved fame, thanks to the constant support of Madame de Berny. Balzac becomes a writer that readers devour.
