Colette

Colette is persuaded to write up her semi-autobiographical tales which, published under her husband's name, become a sensation.

In late 1880s rural Burgundy, Sidonie-Gabrielle is courted by literary entrepreneur Henri Gauthier-Villars, who brings her back to Paris as his wife. Becoming painfully aware that the newlyweds' expenditure exceeds their income, Colette is persuaded to write up her semi-autobiographical tales which, published under Henri's name, become a sensation.
