Tragic fate pursues Isidore Ducasse from his childhood. At the age of two, he witnesses the suicide of Celestine, his mother, on Christmas Eve 1847. At the age of eighteen, holding a baccalaureate and with some of his unfinished Songs in hand he takes on the pseudonym "Count of Lautreamont" and enters the literary world of Paris and Brussels. Rejected by publishers, the young writer abandons his studies and takes on a life of luxury at his father's expense. The Franco-Prussian War breaks out. Decadence overtakes his guardian, leaving him practically penniless in South America. At the age of twenty-four and profoundly depressed at the carnage of bodies piling up in the streets of Paris, the young writer ingests a mortal cocktail and picks up his razor, thus fulfilling his prophecy: "Upon awakening, my razor, opening a pathway across my neck, will prove that nothing, actually, is more true..."

Un destin tragique poursuit Isidore Ducasse depuis son origine. A l'age de deux ans, il est temoin du suicide de Celestine, sa mere, survenu en 1847, pendant la nuit de Noel. Quand il a treize ans, a cause des pestes et des guerres en Uruguay, il est embarque dans un navire par le chancelier Francois Ducasse, son pere, afin de recevoir une education dans le sud de la France ou il subira de terribles crises d'angoisse et les rigueurs des pedophiles dans les prisons scolaires de Tarbes et de Pau. A 18 ans, ayant en main un bachot et quelques Chants inacheves, il adopte le pseudonyme Comte de Lautreamont et s'aventure dans le monde des lettres a Paris et a Bruxelles. Rejete par les editeurs, il abandonne ses etudes et commence a vivre en grande pompe, aux crochets de son pere, a Paris. Alors que tout va bien, voila que son pere l'abandonne. En 1870, eclate la guerre franco-prussienne. La decadence conduit son tuteur, le banquier Jean Darasse, a la banqueroute y entrainant aussi les finances de Francois Ducasse, le laissant pratiquement ruine en Amerique Du Sud, region est egalement en flammes. A l'age de 24 ans, profondement deprime par le carnage qui fait s'amonceler les cadavres dans les rues de Paris, Lautreamont absorbe un cocktail mortifere, prepare son rasoir, accomplissant ainsi la prophetie ecrite dans son uvre: "Au reveil, mon rasoir, ouvrant un chemin a travers le cou, prouvera que rien, en effet, n'est plus vrai..." Isidore Ducasse va etre capable de survivre a ces tours d'evenements tragiques ou vont-ils changer sa vie pour toujours?
