Violette

During the last years of World War II, Violette Leduc lives with Maurice Sachs, who doesn't love her but who does encourage her to write. She seeks out Simone de Beauvoir and eventually presents her with a draft of her first book. De Beauvoir rewards Violette's trust by reading and commenting on the book and by introducing her to contemporary intellectual icons Jean-Paul Sartre, Jean Genet and Albert Camus. In 1964, the success of Violette Leduc's autobiographical bestseller ''La Bâtarde'' enables her to earn a living from her writing.

Violette Leduc, née bâtarde au début du siècle dernier, rencontre Simone de Beauvoir dans les années d’après-guerre à St-Germain-des-Prés. Commence une relation intense entre les deux femmes qui va durer toute leur vie, relation basée sur la quête de la liberté par l’écriture pour Violette et la conviction pour Simone d’avoir entre les mains le destin d’un écrivain hors norme.
