Set against the backdrop of 1980s France, the narrative unfolds as Lady Caroline Blackwood attempts to interview the reclusive Duchess of Windsor, only to face fierce opposition from the Duchess’s lawyer, Maître Suzanne Blum. Their battle of wits reveals the complexities of aging, celebrity, and societal expectations. Blackwood's struggle, marked by Blum's elaborate defenses and threats, transforms into a profound exploration of the peculiar dynamics between the Duchess and her protector, culminating in a modern classic that critiques the nature of fame and vulnerability.
