Description

1873 - The precocious, French poet, Arthur Rimbaud, has eloped with his mentor - the older, married Paul Verlaine - to London where they are struggling to keep the faith in their love and their work. Despite the downward spiral of poverty and violence, it is here that Rimbaud will pen his aptly named masterpiece, “A Season in Hell.”
