Description "Set in Paris in 1922 during the last hour of Marcel Proust's life. The habitual observances of a dying man seen through the eyes of a devoted servant. We see fragments of fact and fantasy interweaved. Night and day dissolve into a ritual of coffee making. Life and art blur, the pages of A la Recherche du Temps Perdu are turning. The aristocracy, the servants mingle, the last page is written."
