Overview
As Balzac prepares to die, his entire past flashes before his eyes. As a young writer, he was driven by the desire to achieve something great. With the support of Laure de Berny, he started 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 became a writer that readers devoured.
