Correspondance passionnée : Henry Miller et Anaïs Nin

December 1931: First meeting between Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin. Henry Miller recently left the United States to settle in Paris with the goal of becoming a writer. The capital is for him the dream city; it puts him on alert, in a frenzy. Everything attracts him: women, whores, bars, streets, their strange names, chance encounters, cinemas, the artistic milieu, the surrealists...

Anaïs Nin lives with her husband in Louveciennes and continues writing her personal diary, which she has kept since childhood.

A friendship develops between them, and quickly passion takes hold. In the Paris of the 30s, Henry and Anaïs become lovers; they correspond, they love each other, they create together. Miller publishes Tropic of Cancer (1934), while Anaïs pursues her inner quest—birth to art, birth to life.

Through their correspondence and Anaïs Nin's personal diary, our adaptation tells the sentimental, sensual, spiritual, artistic, and human quest of two extraordinary artists.
