Paris in the 1950s: the reign of Sartre and existentialism. Daniel
Brodin-bibliophile, book thief, self-proclaimed poet-enters the
heated atmosphere of the Cafe Serbier, home of the Parisian
literati. A poetry night is taking place and, when one luminary
suggests giving the floor to an unknown, Daniel impulsively puts
himself forward. Under pressure, he recites not one of his own
surrealist poems but an obscure piece of Italian verse he's certain
no one will know. It's plagiarism-but it's a triumph. At last,
success. Daniel's recital marks his entrance into the Parisian
avant-garde: a band of cultured rogues and pseudo-revolutionaries
for whom life is a playground for art, and planning a robbery has
as much value as writing a book. In this milieu, the wine is good
and the girls are beautiful. But can success last if it is founded
on plagiarism and theft?
