This adaptation of George Sand's seminal novel Indiana captures the compelling and at-the-time scandalous feminist drive of the original.

Baudelaire: poète maudit, enfant terrible, lyric genius, crippling perfectionist. Bereft of a father at age five, he spent his days squandering the former's fortune on prostitutes and paintings, opium and alcohol, finery and laundry bills for his impeccably white dandy's collars.

Yslaire pays tribute to a brimstone-and-hellfire affair from the annals of literature, two misunderstood souls who in their mutual misunderstanding afforded each other what little solace they found in life.
Opération Copperhead, c'est une histoire aussi vraie que rocambolesque du contrespionnage britannique pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
