The true story of Colette begins when the simple girl of the campaign, bride of the famous writer, but indigent, Henri “Willy” Gauthier-Villars, enters Parisian high society in the 1900s. Bored in his a new existence, she writes journals replete with her sexual fantasies, which are finally published as the Claudine short story series under the name of Willy. Sensual stories are striking, and Willy and Colette become the most famous couple in France. Until Willy ends up betraying her.
