A legendary biography of the 18th-century French literary giant Balzac, filmed by the French themselves. The film's biggest attraction is Balzac portrayed by the actor with a big nose. It revolves around the tumultuous life of this rebellious genius, analyzing his marriage, love affairs, novel writing, and family relationships, breaking away from the previous perfect depiction of Balzac, portraying him as an eccentric, irritable, charming man who ultimately becomes bedridden due to obesity—a successful figure in his career, yet a true failure in his personal life. The character played by Ardan is Balzac's greatest solace in his final days. The entire film has an artistic flavor, depicting the helpless ending of life with deep sorrow.
