Jeanne Duval, the mixed-race muse and partner of Charles Baudelaire, has been forgotten by time and erased by history, but she refuses to remain silenced. In this short we see April 27, 1842: a day in the life of Duval and Baudelaire. As the day goes on, the weight of Baudelaire’s words and needs becomes increasingly difficult for Duval to bear.
