Historia
In Paris during the late 19th century, established poet Paul Verlaine invites young Arthur Rimbaud to live with him and his pregnant wife, Mathilde, in her father's home. Rimbaud's unconventional behavior disrupts their household while also stirring up the insular society of French poets. Verlaine finds Rimbaud invigorating, and they soon embark on a passionate affair fueled by absinthe. Their relationship causes tension with Mathilde, leading to reconciliations and partings between them all. In 1873, an altercation involving a pistol sends one of the lovers to prison. The film's codas depict the poets' final meeting and their eventual illnesses.
