Synopsis

Julio rencontre un vieil écrivain qui cherche un assistant pour dactylographier son dernier roman, mais il n’est pas retenu. Pour donner le change à Blanca, sa maitresse occasionnelle, il décide d’écrire un manuscrit qu’il fait passer auprès d’elle pour celui du romancier. Il s’inspire de son histoire d’amour passionnelle avec Emilia, huit ans plus tôt, lorsqu’ils étaient tous deux étudiants en littérature et que chacun prétendait avoir lu Proust… Où commence la fiction, où s’arrêtent les souvenirs ? Dans ce va-et-vient entre littérature et réalité, les sentiments deviennent aussi complexes et fragiles que l’architecture délicate d’un bonsai.

In the summer of 1816, English poet Percy Shelley, his soon to be wife Mary Shelley (daughter of William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft), and Mary's stepsister and companion Claire Clairmont take a holiday with Lord Byron and his physician John William Polidori at a villa rented by Byron at Lake Geneva, Switzerland. Byron challenges each of the friends to write a horror story, and Mary begins her novel, Frankenstein. She imagines the monster becoming real, and for the next six years, as tragedy befalls those around her, she believes the creature of her imagination is the cause. Meanwhile, Claire has Byron's baby, is estranged from him and barred from seeing her daughter. Byron and Percy continue their friendship, the one hedonistic, the other idealistic. The Shelleys move near Pisa.
