Synopsis
Marcel Proust is confined by illness to his room. Celeste, her governess, takes care of him, writes at his dictation, glues the manuscripts, sews his book like a dress. Doctors want to heal him, friends want to see him, everyone wants to read his work. But he just wants to complete his work before death takes him away.

Butterfly, by Florence Miailhe
